Hi Nathan,

Le mardi 15 juillet 2025 à 15:13 -0700, Nathan Chancellor a écrit :
A new warning in clang [1] points out a few places in s5p_mfc_cmd_v6.c
where an uninitialized variable is passed as a const pointer:

  drivers/media/platform/samsung/s5p-mfc/s5p_mfc_cmd_v6.c:45:7: error: variable 'h2r_args' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
     45 |                                         &h2r_args);
        |                                          ^~~~~~~~
  drivers/media/platform/samsung/s5p-mfc/s5p_mfc_cmd_v6.c:133:7: error: variable 'h2r_args' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
    133 |                                         &h2r_args);

  drivers/media/platform/samsung/s5p-mfc/s5p_mfc_cmd_v6.c:148:7: error: variable 'h2r_args' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
    148 |                                         &h2r_args);
        |                                          ^~~~~~~~

The args parameter in s5p_mfc_cmd_host2risc_v6() is never actually used,
so just pass NULL to it in the places where h2r_args is currently
passed, clearing up the warning and not changing the functionality of
the code.

From what I can tell, it seems like ->cmd_host2risc() is only ever
called from v6 code, which always passes NULL? It seems like it should
be possible to just drop .cmd_host2risc on the v5 side, then update
.cmd_host2risc to only take two parameters? If so, I can send a follow
up as a clean up, so that this can go back relatively conflict free.
It seems so yes. For this specific patch, I would probably rename "args" to
"__unused" to make the reading faster. But does not matter so much if you later
remove it.
