Such a check will always be true. In all these cases a signed int is assigned to the unsigned variable, which is checked, before. So the right fix is to make the checked variable signed as well. In one case the check can be dropped completely, because all it does it returns 'err' if 'err' is less than zero, otherwise it returns 0. Since in this particular case 'err' is always either 0 or less this is the same as just returning 'err'. The issue has been found using the following coccinelle semantic patch: // @@ type T; unsigned T i; @@ ( *i < 0 | *i >= 0 ) // Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen Cc: Viresh Kumar --- drivers/rtc/rtc-spear.c | 12 +++++------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/rtc/rtc-spear.c b/drivers/rtc/rtc-spear.c index e278547..bb507d2 100644 --- a/drivers/rtc/rtc-spear.c +++ b/drivers/rtc/rtc-spear.c @@ -235,7 +235,7 @@ static int spear_rtc_read_time(struct device *dev, struct rtc_time *tm) static int spear_rtc_set_time(struct device *dev, struct rtc_time *tm) { struct spear_rtc_config *config = dev_get_drvdata(dev); - unsigned int time, date, err = 0; + unsigned int time, date; if (tm2bcd(tm) < 0) return -EINVAL; @@ -247,11 +247,8 @@ static int spear_rtc_set_time(struct device *dev, struct rtc_time *tm) (tm->tm_year << YEAR_SHIFT); writel(time, config->ioaddr + TIME_REG); writel(date, config->ioaddr + DATE_REG); - err = is_write_complete(config); - if (err < 0) - return err; - return 0; + return is_write_complete(config); } /* @@ -295,7 +292,8 @@ static int spear_rtc_read_alarm(struct device *dev, struct rtc_wkalrm *alm) static int spear_rtc_set_alarm(struct device *dev, struct rtc_wkalrm *alm) { struct spear_rtc_config *config = dev_get_drvdata(dev); - unsigned int time, date, err = 0; + unsigned int time, date; + int err; if (tm2bcd(&alm->time) < 0) return -EINVAL; @@ -357,7 +355,7 @@ static int __devinit spear_rtc_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) { struct resource *res; struct spear_rtc_config *config; - unsigned int status = 0; + int status = 0; int irq; res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
