My pleasure.

I am very new to sparse.

I guess the warning is caused by the macro min.

Then I submitted my changes.

Thanks for code review.

Thanks for catching the redundant cast.

There is a second problem detected by sparse on that line:

drivers/of/fdt.c:1094:34: warning: expression using sizeof(void)

Can you please fix both issues?

Thanks,

Frank

I think the warning is likely because the type of data is 'void *'.

Removing the (int) cast is a good fix, but does not resolve
the sparse warning.

Let me correct myself. When I ran sparse, I see the removing min() does
eliminate the sparse warning. I'm not sure why, so I'll go dig a little
deeper.

Digging leaves me with more information, but still not sure of the actual
underlying cause. min() is defined in include/linux/kernel.h. Unraveling
the defines, the code that sparse is complaining about is in
__no_side_effects(), which is:

#define __no_side_effects(x, y) \
(__is_constexpr(x) && __is_constexpr(y))

and __is_constexpr() is:

#define __is_constexpr(x) \
(sizeof(int) == sizeof(*(8 ? ((void *)((long)(x) * 0l)) : (int *)8)))

The compiler warning points to the second sizeof() in the __is_constexpr() for
'l', which expands as:

(sizeof(int) == sizeof(*(8 ? ((void *)((long)( l) * 0l)) : (int *)8)))

I'll dig into this a little more, to see if maybe the problem is related to
my compiler version or sparse version. Or if the reason lies elsewhere.
