Hello! This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20200424 as part of the linux-next scan project: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits: Wed Mar 11 10:43:26 2020 +0200 3a6af93dd66e ("iio: adc: ad7476: Add IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW for AD7091R") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1492717: Incorrect expression (NO_EFFECT) /drivers/iio/adc/ad7476.c: 312 in ad7476_probe() 306 indio_dev->name = spi_get_device_id(spi)->name; 307 indio_dev->modes = INDIO_DIRECT_MODE; 308 indio_dev->channels = st->chip_info->channel; 309 indio_dev->num_channels = 2; 310 indio_dev->info = &ad7476_info; 311 vvv CID 1492717: Incorrect expression (NO_EFFECT) vvv Comparing an array to null is not useful: "st->chip_info->convst_channel", since the test will always evaluate as true. 312 if (st->convst_gpio && st->chip_info->convst_channel) 313 indio_dev->channels = st->chip_info->convst_channel; 314 /* Setup default message */ 315 316 st->xfer.rx_buf = &st->data; 317 st->xfer.len = st->chip_info->channel[0].scan_type.storagebits / 8; If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first): Reported-by: coverity-bot <keescook+coverity-bot@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1492717 ("Incorrect expression") Fixes: 3a6af93dd66e ("iio: adc: ad7476: Add IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW for AD7091R") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
