So I think the title of the patch is misleading. The point is that
adapter->product_info.fw_version[] >> 8
Always produces zero since adapter->product_info.fw_version is a char[].
It seems that the idea was
If you want to supply an update that just making the zero explicit for
the firmware version (and thus fixes the sparse warning) is fine too ...
Al just thought that you meant to take the firmware version as BCD
nybbles.
