The patch titled
Subject: drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: avoid -Wnonnull warning
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
memstick-core-avoid-wnonnull-warning.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: avoid -Wnonnull warning
gcc-7 produces a harmless false-postive warning about a possible
NULL pointer access:
drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: In function 'h_memstick_read_dev_id':
drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c:309:3: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull]
memcpy(mrq->data, buf, mrq->data_len);
This can't happen because the caller sets the command to 'MS_TPC_READ_REG',
which causes the data direction to be 'READ' and the NULL pointer not
accessed.
As a simple workaround for the warning, we can pass a pointer to the
data that we actually want to read into. This is not needed here, but
also harmless, and lets the compiler know that the access is ok.
