The amount of trivial warnings pointed out by compilation in separate
email is as well disappointing. You do not need community to check if
all variables are used - compilers tell it, so use them. Toolchains and
static checkers will point some issues without any need of using
community reviewers. Look, isn't it great? Instead of using human force
you can use tools...

This applies to all Analog contributions - *you must check* your code
with W=1, sparse, smatch and coccinelle.
