From 50db2cd408a4a8883e738874208c84527e3c6a41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2017 22:07:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iio: orientation: hid-sensor-rotation: Drop unnecessary static Drop static on a local variable, when the variable is initialized before any possible use. Thus, the static has no benefit. The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @bad exists@ position p; identifier x; type T; @@ static T x@p; ... x = <+...x...+> @@ identifier x; expression e; type T; position p != bad.p; @@ -static T x@p; ... when != x when strict ?x = e; // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron --- drivers/iio/orientation/hid-sensor-rotation.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/iio/orientation/hid-sensor-rotation.c b/drivers/iio/orientation/hid-sensor-rotation.c index e9fa86c87db5..98fe0c5df380 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/orientation/hid-sensor-rotation.c +++ b/drivers/iio/orientation/hid-sensor-rotation.c @@ -238,7 +238,7 @@ static int dev_rot_parse_report(struct platform_device *pdev, static int hid_dev_rot_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) { int ret; - static char *name; + char *name; struct iio_dev *indio_dev; struct dev_rot_state *rot_state; struct hid_sensor_hub_device *hsdev = pdev->dev.platform_data; -- 2.30.2
