Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

The pm8xxx_get_channel() implementation is unclear, and causes gcc to suddenly generate odd warnings. The trigger for the warning (at least for me) was the entirely unrelated commit 79a4e91d ("device.h: Add __cold to dev_<level> logging functions"), which apparently changes gcc code generation in the caller function enough to cause this: drivers/iio/adc/qcom-pm8xxx-xoadc.c: In function ‘pm8xxx_xoadc_probe’: drivers/iio/adc/qcom-pm8xxx-xoadc.c:633:8: warning: ‘ch’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] ret = pm8xxx_read_channel_rsv(adc, ch, AMUX_RSV4, ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ &read_nomux_rsv4, true); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/iio/adc/qcom-pm8xxx-xoadc.c:426:27: note: ‘ch’ was declared here struct pm8xxx_chan_info *ch; ^~ because gcc for some reason then isn't able to see that the termination condition for the "for( )" loop in that function is also the condition for returning NULL. So it's not _actually_ uninitialized, but the function is admittedly just unnecessarily oddly written. Simplify and clarify the function, making gcc also see that it always returns a valid initialized value.
