[PATCH] memstick: core: avoid -Wnonnull warning

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Wed Jan 11 2017 - 09:41:58 EST


gcc-7 produces a harmless false-postive warning about a possible
NULL pointer access:

drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: In function 'h_memstick_read_dev_id':
drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c:309:3: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull]
memcpy(mrq->data, buf, mrq->data_len);

This can't happen because the caller sets the command to 'MS_TPC_READ_REG',
which causes the data direction to be 'READ' and the NULL pointer not
accessed.

As a simple workaround for the warning, we can pass a pointer to the
data that we actually want to read into. This is not needed here, but
also harmless, and lets the compiler know that the access is ok.
