If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2237fc788ba4e257332a525b7aff6a491f159d11 Author: Chunfeng Yun <chunfeng.yun@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jan 18 16:43:41 2023 +0800 phy: mediatek: remove temporary variable @mask_ [ Upstream commit 49094d928618309877c50e589f23e639a3b0c453 ] Remove the temporary @mask_, this may cause build warning when use clang compiler for powerpc, but can't reproduce it when compile for arm64. the build warning is caused by: "warning: result of comparison of constant 18446744073709551615 with expression of type (aka 'unsigned long') is always false [-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]" More information provided in below lore link. After removing @mask_, there is a "CHECK:MACRO_ARG_REUSE" when run checkpatch.pl, but due to @mask is constant, no reuse problem will happen.
