Hello! This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20210331 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: None 128eaf937adb ("soundwire: qcom: add support to missing transport params") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1503591: (UNUSED_VALUE) /drivers/soundwire/qcom.c: 672 in qcom_swrm_transport_params() 666 667 ret = ctrl->reg_write(ctrl, reg, value); 668 669 if (pcfg->lane_control != SWR_INVALID_PARAM) { 670 reg = SWRM_DP_PORT_CTRL_2_BANK(params->port_num, bank); 671 value = pcfg->lane_control; vvv CID 1503591: (UNUSED_VALUE) vvv Assigning value from "(*ctrl->reg_write)(ctrl, reg, value)" to "ret" here, but that stored value is overwritten before it can be used. 672 ret = ctrl->reg_write(ctrl, reg, value); 673 } 674 675 if (pcfg->blk_group_count != SWR_INVALID_PARAM) { 676 reg = SWRM_DP_BLOCK_CTRL2_BANK(params->port_num, bank); 677 value = pcfg->blk_group_count; /drivers/soundwire/qcom.c: 678 in qcom_swrm_transport_params() 672 ret = ctrl->reg_write(ctrl, reg, value); 673 } 674 675 if (pcfg->blk_group_count != SWR_INVALID_PARAM) { 676 reg = SWRM_DP_BLOCK_CTRL2_BANK(params->port_num, bank); 677 value = pcfg->blk_group_count; vvv CID 1503591: (UNUSED_VALUE) vvv Assigning value from "(*ctrl->reg_write)(ctrl, reg, value)" to "ret" here, but that stored value is overwritten before it can be used. 678 ret = ctrl->reg_write(ctrl, reg, value); 679 } 680 681 if (pcfg->hstart != SWR_INVALID_PARAM 682 && pcfg->hstop != SWR_INVALID_PARAM) { 683 reg = SWRM_DP_PORT_HCTRL_BANK(params->port_num, bank); 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: 1503591 ("UNUSED_VALUE") Fixes: 128eaf937adb ("soundwire: qcom: add support to missing transport params") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
