Remove the second declaration to quiet the following sparse warning. warning: symbol 'len' shadows an earlier one In sd_probe the variable 'index' is declared as a u32. This variable is used in a call to ida_get_new which is expecting an int *. Make the variable an int to quiet the following sparse warning. warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) There are 4 symbols in the file that are not exported and produce the following sparse warnings. warning: symbol 'sd_cdb_cache' was not declared. Should it be static? warning: symbol 'sd_cdb_pool' was not declared. Should it be static? warning: symbol 'sd_read_protection_type' was not declared. Should it be static? warning: symbol 'sd_read_app_tag_own' was not declared. Should it be static? Make them static to quiet the warnings.
