At least on s390, gcc complains about that:
drivers/media/i2c/saa7115.c: In function 'saa711x_detect_chip.constprop.2':
drivers/media/i2c/saa7115.c:1647:1: warning: 'saa711x_detect_chip.constprop.2' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]
While for me the above report seems utterly bogus, as the
compiler should be optimizing saa711x_detect_chip, merging
it with saa711x_detect_chip and changing:
char chip_ver[size - 1];
to
char chip_ver[16];
because this function is only called on this code snippet:
char name[17];
...
ident = saa711x_detect_chip(client, id, name, sizeof(name));
It seems that gcc is not optimizing it, at least on s390.
As getting rid of it is easy, let's do it.
