Subject: [PATCH 3/3] V4L/DVB: staging/tm6000: Fix a warning message
Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2010 09:45:42 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101007094542.6a2e6a7c@pedra> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <f3a134520bf3f816b8f7192426af875603a1434e.1286455481.git.mchehab@redhat.com>

I added a code to the driver to force it to produce a warning. This
were intended to remind me about a very bad hack. I never found a way
to workaround. So, instead of those warnings:

drivers/staging/tm6000/tm6000-core.c: In function ‘tm6000_init_analog_mode’:
drivers/staging/tm6000/tm6000-core.c:328: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code

Let's document the issue and hope if someone with the support of the vendor
might fix it.
