From: David Malcolm <dmalcolm@xxxxxxxxxx> Commit 862f90c368e4e310def16f5a89edd0e078d7b840 upstream. This code in drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/uli526x.c function "uli526x_timer": 1086 } else 1087 if ((tmp_cr12 & 0x3) && db->link_failed) { [...snip...] 1109 } 1110 else if(!(tmp_cr12 & 0x3) && db->link_failed) 1111 { [...snip...] 1117 } 1118 db->init=0; is misleadingly indented: the db->init=0 is indented as if part of the else clause at line 1086, but it is independent of it (no braces before the "if" at line 1087). This patch fixes the indentation to reflect the actual meaning of the code, though is it actually meant to be part of the "else" clause? (I'm a compiler developer, not a kernel person). It also adds spaces around the assignment, to placate checkpatch.pl. Seen via an experimental new gcc warning I'm working on for gcc 6, -Wmisleading-indentation, using gcc r223098 adding -Werror=misleading-indentation to KBUILD_CFLAGS in Makefile. The experimental GCC emits this warning (as an error), rightly IMHO: drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/uli526x.c: In function ‘uli526x_timer’: drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/uli526x.c:1118:3: error: statement is indented as if it were guarded by... [-Werror=misleading-indentation] db->init=0; ^ drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/uli526x.c:1086:4: note: ...this ‘else’ clause, but it is not } else ^ Hope this is helpful Dave Signed-off-by: David Malcolm <dmalcolm@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
