[PATCH] gpio: bcm-kona: memory corruption fix
From: Olof Johansson
Date: Mon Dec 08 2014 - 16:33:20 EST
In one instance the base address of the internal controller state
structure is passed into a function doing writel to an offset of
the pointer passed in is used, instead of the register base.
Once I found the bug, I also went back to check for other sparse
warnings in the file, but found none. This one, however, triggered:
drivers/gpio/gpio-bcm-kona.c:552:47: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
drivers/gpio/gpio-bcm-kona.c:552:47: expected void [noderef] <asn:2>*reg_base
drivers/gpio/gpio-bcm-kona.c:552:47: got struct bcm_kona_gpio *kona_gpio
drivers/gpio/gpio-bcm-kona.c:556:47: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
drivers/gpio/gpio-bcm-kona.c:556:47: expected void [noderef] <asn:2>*reg_base
drivers/gpio/gpio-bcm-kona.c:556:47: got struct bcm_kona_gpio *kona_gpio
As far as I can tell, this bug has been here for a long time and is
not new, but I found it when hunting down another heisenbug on this
platform.
Not marking for stable since I am unaware of any upstream user of kona
on a product that would benefit from it.
