Subject: [PATCH] wl12xx: alloc buffer in driver_state_read to prevent compilation warning
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 14:58:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1323953888-10988-1-git-send-email-coelho@ti.com> (raw)
When compiling wl12xx for x86, there was a warning complaining about
the size of the buffer we were allocating in the stack:
drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/debugfs.c: In function 'driver_state_read':
drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/debugfs.c:380:1: warning: the frame size of 1040 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes
To prevent this, allocate the buffer in the heap instead.
