Hello! This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20221110 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: Thu Oct 27 14:37:38 2022 +0300 153e4ad44d60 ("media: i2c: Add driver for ST VGXY61 camera sensor") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1527257: Control flow issues (NO_EFFECT) drivers/media/i2c/st-vgxy61.c:1679 in vgxy61_detect() 1673 struct i2c_client *client = sensor->i2c_client; 1674 u16 id = 0; 1675 int ret; 1676 u8 st; 1677 1678 id = vgxy61_read_reg(sensor, VGXY61_REG_MODEL_ID); vvv CID 1527257: Control flow issues (NO_EFFECT) vvv This less-than-zero comparison of an unsigned value is never true.

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: 1527257 ("Control flow issues") Fixes: 153e4ad44d60 ("media: i2c: Add driver for ST VGXY61 camera sensor") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
