Clang warns when one enumerated type is implicitly converted to another:

This is interesting. I have never tried to use llvm for building the
kernel. Do you have any description how this can be done?

Depending on what version of Clang you have access to, it is usually just as
simple as running 'make ARCH=arm CC=clang CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-'.

Clang 7.0+ is recommended but 6.0 might work too.

TBH I would expect to download container and run this there to make sure
that I don't break anything else.

This is the first request we've had for a container in order to test a
patch.  If it comes up again from other folks, I think it makes sense
to create one.  Until then, its nice to have.  It's definitely
overkill for this patch.

I have played with it to see that error and here are some steps I did.

docker run --name test-clang -it --rm debian:latest bash
apt-get update
apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu clang git bc
build-essential bison flex make llvm vim libssl-dev sparse

git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git --depth 1
cd linux

export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

make defconfig

This should also have 'CC=clang' because compiler detection happens in
Kconfig now so compiler flags get properly set. Other than that, looks
good and I was able to build pinctrl-zynq.o without any issues with
those commands.

For arm32 I am still getting compilation issue (arm64 is fine)
Below are my steps and version I use. Do you know what could be the
problem?

Thanks,
Michal

Ah because Debian's regular Clang is ancient.

For testing, we use the builds from apt.llvm.org. Commands assuming
you're using the normal Debian image:

curl https://apt.llvm.org/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://apt.llvm.org/stretch/ llvm-toolchain-stretch main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y clang-8

Then use `CC=clang-8' instead of 'CC=clang' for all make invocations.

Still I see some issues. Log below.

Thanks,
Michal

I think it's the 'export CC=clang-8'; without it, I can get past that
point without any issues. Our continuous integration setup provides CC
to make on the same line, without an export.

ok - Nice links. You use docker already which is exactly what I was
looking for.

I found where the issue was. I did a typo
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnuaebi-
it should be
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-

Thanks for help to resolve this.

Thanks,
Michal
