Hello Christoph,

Do you agree with the patch below? It seems to be sufficient to suppress
the compiler warning.

Thanks,

Bart.

[PATCH] scsi_transport_srp: Suppress a W=1 compiler warning

Avoid that the following compiler warning is reported when building
with W=1:

drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_srp.c:92:19: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]
