Hi,
Static analysis on
drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmsmac/phy/phy_n.c has found
an issue with a mask and shift operation in function
wlc_phy_rxcal_radio_setup_nphy() as follows:
lines 26326-26330:
offtune_val =
(pi->tx_rx_cal_radio_saveregs
[2] & 0xF0) >> 8;
offtune_val =
(offtune_val <= 0x7) ? 0xF : 0;
and similar in lines 26376-26381 too.
The issue is that the expression pi->tx_rx_cal_radio_saveregs[2] & 0xF0
when shifted 8 places right is always zero, so this looks like a mistake
since some value value between 0..0xf is expected in the second statement.
Since pi->tx_rx_cal_radio_saveregs[2] is a u16 value the expression
could plausible be:
(pi->tx_rx_cal_radio_saveregs[2] & 0xf0) >> 4
or
(pi->tx_rx_cal_radio_saveregs[2] & 0xf00) >> 8
I don't have knowledge of the hardware so I'm not sure what a suitable
fix is.
Regards,
Colin
