Hi, Greg KH Yes, I think sync rtl8723bs and r8188eu will be better as they have same problem. commit 067756acdac8e0dd91edf4800e844fcb6e0cc72a Author: Hariprasad Kelam <hariprasad.kelam@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 15 23:16:18 2019 +0530 staging: rtl8723bs: core: Change return type of init_mlme_ext_priv As init_mlme_ext_priv function always returns SUCCESS , We can change return type from int to void. Fixes below issue identified by coccicheck drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c:464:5-8: Unneeded variable: "res". Return "_SUCCESS" on line 492 ________________________________________ 发件人: Greg KH <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 发送时间: 2022年3月28日 16:47:45 收件人: 白浩文 抄送: Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx; phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; straube.linux@xxxxxxxxx; martin@xxxxxxxxx; linux-staging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 主题: Re: [PATCH V2] staging: r8188eu: Directly return _SUCCESS instead of using local ret variable On Mon, Mar 28, 2022 at 04:43:48PM +0800, Haowen Bai wrote: > fixes coccinelle warning: > ./drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c:357:5-8: Unneeded variable: "res". > Return "_SUCCESS" on line 380 > > Signed-off-by: Haowen Bai <baihaowen@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > V1->V2: split into two patches. > > drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c | 3 +-- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c b/drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c > index 931e6f2..4b7b0ee 100644 > --- a/drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c > +++ b/drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c > @@ -354,7 +354,6 @@ static u8 init_channel_set(struct adapter *padapter, u8 ChannelPlan, struct rt_c > > int init_mlme_ext_priv(struct adapter *padapter) > { > - int res = _SUCCESS; > struct registry_priv *pregistrypriv = &padapter->registrypriv; > struct mlme_ext_priv *pmlmeext = &padapter->mlmeextpriv; > struct mlme_priv *pmlmepriv = &padapter->mlmepriv; > @@ -377,7 +376,7 @@ int init_mlme_ext_priv(struct adapter *padapter) > > pmlmeext->active_keep_alive_check = true; > > - return res; > + return _SUCCESS; If a function can only ever succeed, why return anything?
