From 6c51a52eeb58befd2e9be2ed7ee2c4c04139b336 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Thu, 4 May 2017 22:10:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: physmap_of: Drop unnecessary static Drop static on a local variable, when the variable is initialized before any use on every possible execution path through the function. The static has no benefit, and dropping it reduces the code size. 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; // The change in code size is indicates by the following output from the size command. before: text data bss dec hex filename 835 80 8 923 39b drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of_gemini.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 823 80 0 903 387 drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of_gemini.o Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Brian Norris --- drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of_gemini.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of_gemini.c b/drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of_gemini.c index 9d371cd728ea..05b286b5289f 100644 --- a/drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of_gemini.c +++ b/drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of_gemini.c @@ -59,7 +59,7 @@ int of_flash_probe_gemini(struct platform_device *pdev, struct device_node *np, struct map_info *map) { - static struct regmap *rmap; + struct regmap *rmap; struct device *dev = &pdev->dev; u32 val; int ret;
