Similar with all the other driver > files in that directory, yet I've not seen such a case before. You forgot the version of sparse. I cannot reproduce the problem with the current sparse from git (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/josh/sparse.git) There were some bad bugs fixed recently. If you are using the snapshot, please download the latest snapshot now, as they were out-of-date until very recently. If you still have the problem, please remove rt2400pci.o and run: make CC="gcc -save-temps -D__CHECKER__" KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1 rt2400pci.i will be found in the root of the build tree. Please see if you have a problem with it. If you do, please put it online and post the URL. If git sparse resolves the problem, I urge sparse developers to make another release soon. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
