Hello Ramakrishna Pallala,
The patch f3a71a6eb13b: "max17042: Add POR init procedure from Maxim
appnote" from Mar 13, 2012, leads to the following
static checker warning: "drivers/power/max17042_battery.c:339
max17042_init_model()
warn: passing casted pointer 'temp_data' to
'max17042_model_data_compare()' 32 vs 16."
drivers/power/max17042_battery.c
307 static inline int max17042_model_data_compare(struct max17042_chip
*chip,
308 u16 *data1, u16 *data2, int
size)
309 {
310 int i;
311
312 if (memcmp(data1, data2, size)) {
313 dev_err(&chip->client->dev, "%s compare failed\n",
__func__);
314 for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
315 dev_info(&chip->client->dev, "0x%x, 0x%x",
316 data1[i], data2[i]);
317 dev_info(&chip->client->dev, "\n");
318 return -EINVAL;
319 }
320 return 0;
321 }
322
323 static int max17042_init_model(struct max17042_chip *chip)
324 {
325 int ret;
326 int table_size =
ARRAY_SIZE(chip->pdata->config_data->cell_char_tbl);
327 u32 *temp_data;
328
329 temp_data = kcalloc(table_size, sizeof(*temp_data), GFP_KERNEL);
330 if (!temp_data)
331 return -ENOMEM;
332
333 max10742_unlock_model(chip);
334 max17042_write_model_data(chip, MAX17042_MODELChrTbl,
335 table_size);
336 max17042_read_model_data(chip, MAX17042_MODELChrTbl, temp_data,
337 table_size);
338
339 ret = max17042_model_data_compare(
340 chip,
341 chip->pdata->config_data->cell_char_tbl,
342 (u16 *)temp_data,
343 table_size);
temp_data is a buffer of 32 bit numbers.
table_size is the number of 32 bit numbers in temp_data.
The max17042_model_data_compare() function is quite buggy because the
memcmp() assumes u8 and the for loop assumes u16. Both can't be correct
and in fact both are wrong since we are passing the size in terms of
u32.
344
345 max10742_lock_model(chip);
346 kfree(temp_data);
347
348 return ret;
349 }
regards,
dan carpenter
