Hi Mauro,

After merging the origin tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) produced this warning:

drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/dvb_usb_core.c: In function 'dvb_usb_ctrl_feed':
drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/dvb_usb_core.c:291:12: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

Which points out some badly formatted and blocked code ...

Probably introduced by commit 62a5f449cab5 ("[media] dvb_usb_v2: refactor
dvb_usb_ctrl_feed() logic").


Hi Stephen,

Thanks for pointing it. It took me some time, but I applied today
a bunch of patches that are fixing all warnings on everything
at drivers/media and drivers/staging/media, with:
make ARCH=i386 W=1
(allyesconfig, gcc 4.7.2)

Maybe there are still a few ones with random configs and other
archs, but at least on my usual testing environment, we're
warnings-free on drivers/media for now, probably up to the
next gcc version.

Sorry for the delay, I was on holiday trip.

hmmm, yes there seems to be something stupid, like missing block braces. I will check that during this week and fix properly if Mauro didn't already fixed it.

regards
Antti
