From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 23:17:56 +0000 (-0800) Subject: drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: avoid -Wnonnull warning X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=de182cc8e882f74af2a112e09f148ce646937232;p=linux-beck.git drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: avoid -Wnonnull warning gcc-7 produces a harmless false-postive warning about a possible NULL pointer access: drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: In function 'h_memstick_read_dev_id': drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c:309:3: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull] memcpy(mrq->data, buf, mrq->data_len); This can't happen because the caller sets the command to 'MS_TPC_READ_REG', which causes the data direction to be 'READ' and the NULL pointer not accessed. As a simple workaround for the warning, we can pass a pointer to the data that we actually want to read into. This is not needed here, but also harmless, and lets the compiler know that the access is ok.
