This is just a call for smatch/sparse:

#!/bin/bash
/devel/smatch/smatch -p=kernel $@
# This is too pedantic and produce lots of false-positives
#/devel/smatch/smatch --two-passes -- -p=kernel $@
/devel/sparse/sparse $@

However, the problem here is that you're doing a 64 bits division.
That causes compilation to break with 32 bits. you need to use
do_div & friends.


Thanks,
