Bad initialisers in pch_gbe_param.c:pch_gbe_check_options ?

["Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <linux@treblig.org>]

Hi,
  The 'sparse' checker pointed me at the following code in pch_gbe_param.c
that does look wrong:

drivers/net/pch_gbe/pch_gbe_param.c:437:26: warning: Initializer entry defined twice
drivers/net/pch_gbe/pch_gbe_param.c:438:26:   also defined here

                static const struct pch_gbe_option opt = {
                        .type = range_option,
                        .name = "Transmit Descriptors",
                        .err  = "using default of "
                                __MODULE_STRING(PCH_GBE_DEFAULT_TXD),
                        .def  = PCH_GBE_DEFAULT_TXD,
   *******              .arg  = { .r = { .min = PCH_GBE_MIN_TXD } },
   *******              .arg  = { .r = { .max = PCH_GBE_MAX_TXD } }
                };

The structure has a union called arg inside of which are two structs (l and r)
and r has two members, min and max.  This initialiser is initialising the whole
of .arg twice; I wrote a little test stand alone program and indeed
when doing it this way 'min' ended up as zero.

I suggest what you really want is:
                static const struct pch_gbe_option opt = {
                        .type = range_option,
                        .name = "Transmit Descriptors",
                        .err  = "using default of "
                                __MODULE_STRING(PCH_GBE_DEFAULT_TXD),
                        .def  = PCH_GBE_DEFAULT_TXD,
                        .arg  = { .r = { .min = PCH_GBE_MIN_TXD,
                                         .max = PCH_GBE_MAX_TXD } }
                };

(There's also an equivalent pair a few lines below)

drivers/net/pch_gbe/pch_gbe_param.c:453:26: warning: Initializer entry defined twice
drivers/net/pch_gbe/pch_gbe_param.c:454:26:   also defined here
