Remove the ", 1".  The point of the __guard_ptr() condition is for try_locks
but the ", 1" means they always succeed.  The only try lock I can find in
You are right that the __guard_ptr() is conditional for the benefit of
try_locks. But here we have unconditional lock. And removing ", 1" part
makes compiler complaining with the very same message:
error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]

so ", 1" part is on purpose and must stay there to aid compiler.

the current tree is tsc200x_esd_work().
Obviously, we can't break stuff and also checking __guard_ptr(_name)(&scope) is
pointless if we're going to ignore the return value.

But, sure, I get that we want to the compiler to know that regular spin_lock()
is going to succeed and spin_trylock() might not.  As a static checker
developer, I want that as well.  Currently, whenever someone creates a new class
of locks, I have to add a couple lines to Smatch to add this information.  It's
not a huge deal, but it would be nice to avoid this.

I did a `git grep scoped_guard | grep try` and I think tsc200x_esd_work() is the
only place which actually uses try locks with scoped_guard().  If it's just the
one, then why don't we create a scoped_guard_trylock() macro?
