I can't see there is a reason to it. The idea is to tell the compiler that I know that stv090x_chk_signal() return a value and I want to ignore it. It is to prevent the compiler to issue warn_unused_result. I found two ways of doing it. First is casting the return to void, second is to change the function definition adding the macro __must_check defined at <linux/compiler.c> like on:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.4.4/include/linux/kernel.h#L215 The (void) solution looked simpler to me, but I'll be happy to change to the __must_check solution if better. What do you think? Keep as is? Add a comment? Change to __must_check? > > Regards, > Ezequiel.
