It reports a lot of warnings, though: -> git describe v2.6.36-rc3 In file included from drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c:38: drivers/ata/libata.h:31:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c:44:1: warning: "DRV_VERSION" redefined drivers/ata/libata.h:32:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c: In function 'sata_dwc_exec_command_by_tag': drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c:1356: warning: passing argument 1 of 'ata_get_cmd_descript' makes integer from pointer without a cast drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c: In function 'sata_dwc_qc_issue': drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c:1476: warning: 'err' is used uninitialized in this function drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c:1465: note: 'err' was declared here drivers/scsi/constants.c: In function 'scsi_print_sense': drivers/scsi/constants.c:1407: warning: zero-length printf format string drivers/scsi/constants.c:1413: warning: zero-length printf format string drivers/scsi/constants.c: In function 'scsi_print_result': drivers/scsi/constants.c:1456: warning: zero-length printf format string drivers/scsi/sd.c: In function 'sd_print_sense_hdr': drivers/scsi/sd.c:2628: warning: zero-length printf format string drivers/scsi/sd.c:2630: warning: zero-length printf format string drivers/scsi/sd.c: In function 'sd_print_result': drivers/scsi/sd.c:2636: warning: zero-length printf format string And the ``'err' is used uninitialized'' warning is indeed a valid one.
