The patch titled
Subject: byteswap: don't use __builtin_bswap*() with sparse
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
byteswap-dont-use-__builtin_bswap-with-sparse.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: byteswap: don't use __builtin_bswap*() with sparse
Although sparse declares __builtin_bswap*(), it can't actually do constant
folding inside them (yet). As such, things like
switch (protocol) {
case htons(ETH_P_IP):
break;
}
which we do all over the place cause sparse to warn that it expects a
constant instead of a function call.
Disable __HAVE_BUILTIN_BSWAP*__ if __CHECKER__ is defined to
avoid this.
Fixes: 7322dd755e7d ("byteswap: try to avoid __builtin_constant_p gcc bug")
