From c8108cf2c0c8fd1c1f0bef34b4a31d567488e171 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 17:36:50 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] clk: moxart: remove unnecessary statics Remove unnecessary static on local variable _base_ in both functions moxart_of_pll_clk_init() and moxart_of_apb_clk_init(). Such variables are initialized before being used, on every execution path throughout the mentioned functions. The statics have no benefit and, removing them reduce the code size. This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch: @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; In the following log you can see the difference in the code size. Also, notice that the bss segment is reduced down to zero. This log is the output of the size command, before and after the code change: before: text data bss dec hex filename 1724 384 128 2236 8bc drivers/clk/clk-moxart.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 1697 240 0 1937 791 drivers/clk/clk-moxart.o Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
