From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c505cbd45f6e9c539d57dd171d95ec7e5e9f9cd0 ] Some of the drivers may use the macro at runtime flow, like struct property_entry p[10]; ... p[index++] = PROPERTY_ENTRY_U8("u8 property", u8_data); In that case and absence of the data type compiler fails the build: drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_dmi.c:79:29: error: Expected ; at end of statement drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_dmi.c:79:29: error: got { Acked-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Corey Minyard <minyard@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/property.h | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/property.h b/include/linux/property.h index 338f9b76914b..459337fb44d0 100644 --- a/include/linux/property.h +++ b/include/linux/property.h @@ -187,7 +187,7 @@ struct property_entry { */ #define PROPERTY_ENTRY_INTEGER_ARRAY(_name_, _type_, _val_) \ -{ \ +(struct property_entry) { \ .name = _name_, \ .length = ARRAY_SIZE(_val_) * sizeof(_type_), \ .is_array = true, \ @@ -205,7 +205,7 @@ struct property_entry { PROPERTY_ENTRY_INTEGER_ARRAY(_name_, u64, _val_) #define PROPERTY_ENTRY_STRING_ARRAY(_name_, _val_) \ -{ \ +(struct property_entry) { \ .name = _name_, \ .length = ARRAY_SIZE(_val_) * sizeof(const char *), \ .is_array = true, \ @@ -214,7 +214,7 @@ struct property_entry { } #define PROPERTY_ENTRY_INTEGER(_name_, _type_, _val_) \ -{ \ +(struct property_entry) { \ .name = _name_, \ .length = sizeof(_type_), \ .is_string = false, \ @@ -231,7 +231,7 @@ struct property_entry { PROPERTY_ENTRY_INTEGER(_name_, u64, _val_) #define PROPERTY_ENTRY_STRING(_name_, _val_) \ -{ \ +(struct property_entry) { \ .name = _name_, \ .length = sizeof(_val_), \ .is_string = true, \ @@ -239,7 +239,7 @@ struct property_entry { } #define PROPERTY_ENTRY_BOOL(_name_) \ -{ \ +(struct property_entry) { \ .name = _name_, \ } -- 2.15.1
