Compiler is not happy about using ARRAY_SIZE() in comparison to smaller type: CC drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.o .../serial_core.c: In function ‘uart_try_toggle_sysrq’: .../serial_core.c:3222:24: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits] 3222 | if (++port->sysrq_seq < (ARRAY_SIZE(sysrq_toggle_seq) - 1)) { | ^ Looking at the code it appears that there is an additional weirdness, i.e. use ARRAY_SIZE() against simple string literal. Yes, the idea probably was to allow '\0' in the sequence, but it's impractical: kernel configuration won't accept it to begin with followed by a comment about '\0' before comparison in question. Drop all these by switching to strlen() and convert code accordingly. Note, GCC seems clever enough to calculate string length at compile time.
