Thank you for checking. I agree this code should be rewritten so it is 
more clear and w/o any warnings. Will fix.

I was unsuccessful reproducing the warning on my end. Tried with GCC 
13.2.0 (ARCH=x86_64, allmodconfig) and Arm GNU Toolchain 13.2 (ARCH=arm, 
allmodconfig) and only got errors in scan.c which I assume you refer to 
below (will also be fixed).

Sure, will add checkpatch.pl --codespell to my tests.
