[PATCH v2 0/2] Fix warnings with recent smatch
From: Ricardo Ribalda
Date: Mon Sep 14 2026 - 11:07:49 EST
Recent versions of smatch preserve the address space qualifiers while
running typeof() [1]. This has triggered tens of new sparse warnings in
media-ci.
This series takes care of them following Dan's suggestion [2].
