commit 41cb65c4854e14f12b1cbb8215e509d8ad4d0c88 upstream.

Fix the following sparse warning :

In file included from drivers/staging/wlan-ng/prism2usb.c:5:0:
drivers/staging/wlan-ng/prism2fw.c: In function
‘read_cardpda.constprop.43’:
drivers/staging/wlan-ng/prism2fw.c:792:1: warning: the frame size of
1068 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

The variable to 'struct p80211msg_p2req_readpda' was previously being created
on the stack, which inturn exeeded the frame size limit, resulting in a
sparse warning. This patch alloctes the memory to the structure dynamically
and the operations are left unchanged.

<title>staging: vt6655: fix overly large stack usage</title>

<content type='text'>
We get a warning for the large stack usage in some configurations:

drivers/staging/vt6655/device_main.c: In function 'device_ioctl':
drivers/staging/vt6655/device_main.c:2974:1: warning: the frame size of 1304 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

This is addressed in linux-3.19 with commit 67013f2c0e58 ("staging: vt6655:
mac80211 conversion add main mac80211 functions"), which obsoletes the
device_ioctl() function, but as that does not apply to stable kernels,
this picks an easier way out by using dynamic allocation.

The driver was merged in 2.6.31, and the fix applies to all versions
before 3.19.

<title>staging: bcm: add 32-bit host dependency</title>

The driver uses a 32-bit variable to store a pointer, causing a couple of
warnings:

../drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c: In function 'StoreCmControlResponseMessage':
../drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c:1503:3: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]

   ^
../drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c:1564:3: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
   (struct bcm_connect_mgr_params *) ntohl(

I fixed other warnings in an earlier commit 9f1c75ac2dba ("staging/bcm: fix most
build warnings"), but couldn't figure out what was the intended behavior on
64-bit machines here.

The driver was removed in linux-3.19, commit d09e9b160fc1 ("staging: bcm: remove
driver") which explains that it never worked on 64-bit machines. This adds
a Kconfig dependency instead to prevent it from being built in the known
broken configuration. This workaround applies to v2.6.37 or higher.

gcc complains about an undefined operation:

commit 28998e005bb669b60de0e432d6f142267f5c1403 upstream.

The lis3l02dq_read_event_config() function returned an ssize_t up to
now, which lead to a compiler warning in line 660 (initialization from
incompatible pointer type). The iio_info struct is defined to accept an
int-returning function as the read_event_config parameter.

Also it seems odd to have the check for (ret &lt; 0) and return ret in
this case, when the return type is signed.

commit 13f7952f8f13fb1bbd18b85988e3a5bbbed00879 upstream.

gcc complains about some potentially uninitalized variables here, yet it
can not happen, due to an enumerated type (either the board is one type
or the other.)  Make the compiler happy by providing a default case
option that makes the logic a bit simpler for it to determine that there
really isn't a problem here.
