Not sure how you want to fix this:

  CHECK   drivers/acpi/pci_irq.c
drivers/ata/ahci.c:323:2: warning: Initializer entry defined twice
drivers/ata/ahci.c:324:3:   also defined here

This happens because macro ATA_BASE_SHT(drv_name) defines .can_queue
then then later in the initializer for ahci_sht, it gets redefined.

Granted it probably works now, but sparse is correct to complain that
this is bad usage.

Hmm... That use is pretty much intentional to provide generic default
initial value and allow specific drivers to override if necessary and I
believe it's a valid C usage, no?

Thanks.
