I've been saying we should move this code out of staging for years now.
Normally I like to do a final static analysis check before drivers move
out of staging.
This driver is doing a bunch of DMA on stack which doesn't work on
all architectures. You have to use kmalloc() (or vmalloc() I suppose)
memory for DMA.
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/dt9812.c:249 dt9812_read_info() error: doing dma on the stack (&cmd)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/dt9812.c:273 dt9812_read_multiple_registers() error: doing dma on the stack (&cmd)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/dt9812.c:299 dt9812_write_multiple_registers() error: doing dma on the stack (&cmd)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/dt9812.c:318 dt9812_rmw_multiple_registers() error: doing dma on the stack (&cmd)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/dt9812.c:330 dt9812_digital_in() error: doing dma on the stack (value)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/dt9812.c:456 dt9812_analog_in() error: doing dma on the stack (val)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/dt9812.c:692 dt9812_reset_device() error: doing dma on the stack (&tmp8)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/dt9812.c:700 dt9812_reset_device() error: doing dma on the stack (&tmp8)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/dt9812.c:711 dt9812_reset_device() error: doing dma on the stack (&tmp16)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/dt9812.c:718 dt9812_reset_device() error: doing dma on the stack (&tmp16)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/dt9812.c:725 dt9812_reset_device() error: doing dma on the stack (&tmp16)

The test_ni_get_reg_value() function calls
unittest(ni_get_reg_value_roffs(-1, O(0), T, 1) == -1,
"check bad direct trigger arg for first reg->dest w/offs\n");
The -1 is type promoted to a high positive value so src is greater than
NI_NAMES_BASE. It's not clear that that was intentional.
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/tests/../ni_routes.h:269 ni_get_reg_value_roffs() warn: 'src' possible negative type promoted to high
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/ni_routes.c:61 ni_find_route_values() warn: 'device_family' sometimes too small '8,11' size = 30
59 for (i = 0; ni_all_route_values[i]; ++i) {
60 if (memcmp(ni_all_route_values[i]->family, device_family,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
61 strnlen(device_family, 30)) == 0) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This whole memcmp() is very strange. Why not just use:
if (strncmp(ni_all_route_values[i]->family, device_family, 30) == 0)
62 rv = &ni_all_route_values[i]->register_values[0][0];
63 break;
64 }
65 }
There are a couple places where conditions could probably be deleted.
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/ni_mio_common.c:2363 ni_ai_cmd() warn: we tested 'dev->irq' before and it was 'true'
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/usbdux.c:1192 usbduxsub_pwm_irq() warn: we tested 'devpriv->pwm_cmd_running' before and it was 'true'
There is some commented out code that might be worth reviewing.
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/ni_mio_common.c:6306 ni_E_init() warn: odd binop '0x2 & 0x0'
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/cb_pcidas64.c:2229 use_hw_sample_counter() warn: ignoring unreachable code.
These places are using char for bitwise operations and there is some
sign extension going on.
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/icp_multi.c:120 icp_multi_ai_insn_read() warn: using signed char for bitops
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/usbdux.c:1290 usbdux_pwm_pattern() warn: using signed char for bitops
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/usbdux.c:1292 usbdux_pwm_pattern() warn: using signed char for bitops
