I think I have a handle on most of the pre-existing warnings. The device responds to BAR reads/writes with big endian data, while I think everything expects little endian. These will be easy to fix. The warning I don't see a fix for is this: drivers/net/ethernet/myricom/myri10ge/myri10ge.c:1434:35: warning: context imbalance in 'myri10ge_intr' - different lock contexts for basic block Which is apparently triggered by using __netif_tx_trylock(). Is there something I'm missing, or does sparse just not like __netif_tx_trylock() because it divides spinlock acquisition and release into 2 different functions? Thanks, Drew
