[PATCH]: HVCS char driver janitoring: fix compile warnings

From: Linas Vepstas <hidden>
Date: 2006-11-15 21:26:49


This is a non-urgent patch. 

I can't figure out who the upstream maintainer for char drivers 
is supposed to be. Can this patch be applied? 

--linas

This patch removes an pair of irritating compiler warnings:

drivers/char/hvcs.c:1605: warning: ignoring return value of
sysfs_create_group declared with attribute warn_unused_result
drivers/char/hvcs.c:1639: warning: ignoring return value of
driver_create_file declared with attribute warn_unused_result

Doing this required moving a big block of code from the bottom 
of the file to the top, so as to avoid the need for (irritating) 
forward declarations.

This patch removes an pair of irritating compiler warnings:

sysfs_create_group declared with attribute warn_unused_result
drivers/char/hvcs.c:1639: warning: ignoring return value of

Doing this required moving a big block of code from the bottom 
of the file to the top, so as to avoid the need for (irritating) 
forward declarations.
Can you do the move and the fix as two patches? It's very hard to review
in its current form.

cheers

driver_create_file declared with attribute warn_unused_result

Doing this required moving a big block of code from the bottom 
of the file to the top, so as to avoid the need for (irritating) 
forward declarations.
Can you do the move and the fix as two patches? It's very hard to review
in its current form.
Sorry, coming shortly. -- linas
Thanks, new patches look good.

cheers

Any clue who I should send these to? I think akpm took the earlier
one, I'm not clear if that means it will slosh into Linus' tree 
eventually.

I grabbed the new ones.  (and gave them vaguely conventional changelogs)

It does, unless something bad happens to them along the way.  But you'd hear
about it if that occurs.
