Subject: [PATCH ath-next] wifi: ath9k: drop static from local pdadc and vpdTable arrays
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 20:08:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616030828.655310-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
Remove the static qualifier from mutable local arrays in three EEPROM
power-calibration functions. These arrays are written to during normal
operation, so static storage is both unnecessary and misleading: it
implies sharing across calls when no such sharing is intended, and it
makes the code subtly non-reentrant. The sibling function in
eeprom_9287.c already uses an automatic (stack-local) pdadcValues,
confirming this is the correct pattern.
This keeps ~1 KB of data off the static data section at the cost of
stack usage, consistent with the rest of the driver's coding style.
