ASoC: hdmi-codec: use unsigned type to structure members with bit-field
This is a fix for Linux 4.10-rc1. In C language specification, a bit-field is interpreted as a signed or unsigned integer type consisting of the specified number of bits. In GCC manual, the range of a signed bit field of N bits is from -(2^N) / 2 to ((2^N) / 2) - 1 https://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-c-manual/gnu-c-manual.html#Bit-Fields Therefore, when defined as 1 bit-field with signed type, variables can represents -1 and 0. The snd-soc-hdmi-codec module includes a structure which has signed type members with bit-fields. Codes of this module assign 0 and 1 to the members. This seems to result in implementation-dependent behaviours. As of v4.10-rc1 merge window, outside of sound subsystem, this structure is referred by below GPU modules. - tda998x - sti-drm - mediatek-drm-hdmi - msm As long as I review their codes relevant to the structure, the structure members are used just for condition statements and printk formats. My proposal of change is a bit intrusive to the printk formats but this may be acceptable. Totally, it's reasonable to use unsigned type for the structure members. This bug is detected by Sparse, static code analyzer with below warnings. ./include/sound/hdmi-codec.h:39:26: error: dubious one-bit signed bitfield ./include/sound/hdmi-codec.h:40:28: error: dubious one-bit signed bitfield ./include/sound/hdmi-codec.h:41:29: error: dubious one-bit signed bitfield ./include/sound/hdmi-codec.h:42:31: error: dubious one-bit signed bitfield Fixes: 09184118a8ab ("ASoC: hdmi-codec: Add hdmi-codec for external HDMI-encoders") Signed-off-by: Takashi Sakamoto <o-takashi@sakamocchi.jp> Acked-by: Arnaud Pouliquen <arnaud.pouliquen@st.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> CC: stable@vger.kernel.org
