I think it will complain, because it's expecting to see this instead: static const char * const part_probes[] = { And then you'll probably have to cast part_probes to (const char **) on the mtd_device_parse_register call to remove every warning. Hope this helps,

Yes, checkpatch complains, but it seems that checkpatch and sparse are in contradiction then. Regards, Fabio Estevam

You fixed a redundant double const: -static const char const *part_probes[] = { +static const char *part_probes[] = { "cmdlinepart", "RedBoot", "ofpart", NULL }; Notice how the 'const char const' type is nonesense. And checkpatch.pl will suggest you this in turn: static const char * const part_probes[] = { "cmdlinepart", "RedBoot", "ofpart", NULL }; Notice how the second 'const' is after the pointer. My point is, the code you're fixing needs a fix, just not the fix you were proposing :-) Hope it helped,
