Yes, this is a make C=1. The warning is in this code that you add in this patch: + platform_probe = of_device_get_match_data(dev); + if (!platform_probe) { + dev_err(dev, "failed to get probe func\n"); + return -EINVAL; } platform_probe should be const, because of_device_get_match_data() returns a const: $ grep -A 10 of_device_get_match_data drivers/of/device.c const void *of_device_get_match_data(const struct device *dev) { const struct of_device_id *match; match = of_match_device(dev->driver->of_match_table, dev); if (!match) return NULL; return match->data; } EXPORT_SYMBOL(of_device_get_match_data); which I agree, you should use a const to receive the of_device_get_match_data(). > > > > -- > <http://www.linaro.org/> Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs > > Follow Linaro: <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro> Facebook | > <http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg> Twitter | > <http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog/> Blog >
