Hi,
I've been trawling through sparse logs for a few months now, and I've noticed
that there are a few fixes for errors that have been out there for a while.
This mail summarises those, so anyone else trawling through sparse knows not to
bother digging.
Note that these all fix actual screwups as opposed to just removing warnings.
(It would also be nice if it gently pushed them forward into the main kernel)
Dave

sprintf (adapter->bios_version, "%c%d%d.%d%d",

yet megaraid.h has:
u8 fw_version[16]; /* printable ASCI string */
u8 bios_version[16]; /* printable ASCI string */
Although you do have to wonder if the comment is right there then maybe the sprintf
is more wrong than the fix fixes.

Fix by Russ Gorby 2010-11-24
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00692.html
drivers/tty/serial/ifx6x60.c:354:31: warning: right shift by bigger than source value
drivers/tty/serial/ifx6x60.c:355:39: warning: right shift by bigger than source value
Those are masking an 8 bit byte from a buffer but those are testing bits after 8th bit
Note that Russ's patch is a bit more complex and doesn't just fix that test.

Here is an updated version of that patch:
---
From: Randy Dunlap <[email protected]>
Fix sparse warnings of right shift bigger than source value size:
drivers/scsi/megaraid.c:311:65: warning: right shift by bigger than source value
drivers/scsi/megaraid.c:313:65: warning: right shift by bigger than source value
drivers/scsi/megaraid.c:317:67: warning: right shift by bigger than source value
drivers/scsi/megaraid.c:319:67: warning: right shift by bigger than source value
Patch suggestion from email by Al Viro:
"Since both are claimed to be strings, I really suspect that this >> 8 is
misspelled >> 4 and they have a character followed by pair of two-digit
packed decimals in there..."
