sound/isa/sb16/sb16.c: In function ‘snd_sb16_isa_probe’:
sound/isa/sb16/sb16.c:559: warning: ‘err’ may be used uninitialized in this function

is a bogus warning, so let's shut it up.

Blah. Your message has:

	Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=iso-2022-jp

This apparently is caused by a combination of GCC using groovy UTF tickmarks 
in its error messages when in a UTF locale and alpine believing it to be a 
great idea to automatically try for the "simplest" character set it can 
encode the content in. No idea why that means that iso-2022-jp is picked, 
but it is.

While I could actually read the message this time you should see what 
iso-2022-jp does to my font. It's scary. Best solution as far as I'm 
concerned is slap a few GCC developers (not that it wil help, but it'll 
certainly feel good) and then teach alpine to go for UTF-8 directly if 
US-ASCII won't do.

As to the content of this patch -- I'd almost say it's better to live with 
the warning than with that unitialized_var() thing. That ARRAY_SIZE is very 
much a compile time constant, so exactly how dumb must GCC get before we get 
to say to here and no further?

Yeah, precisely.

Pretty dumb indeed -- in fact that's the case with 4 patches in this
series. Like Jeff said, that (gcc's) behaviour has likely even improved
w.r.t. later versions, so I guess it's fine if these 4 patches are not
applied -- I'll leave it upto the maintainers.

Kindly give me permission to convert your email into gcc bugreport
and/or to forward it to gcc mailing list.

gcc is a sad, sad compiler. This warning is bogus so let's shut it up.

Same situation, same comment (and same charset :-( ) as the sb16 one.
