Hi,
This patchset addresses some Sparse warnings that are flagged in files
touched by recent patch submissions.
Although these changes do not alter the functionality of the code, by
addressing them real problems introduced in future which are flagged by
Sparse will stand out more readily.
Compile tested only.

Recently I noticed that both gcc-14 and clang-18 report that passing
a non-string literal as the format argument of alloc_workqueue()
is potentially insecure.
E.g. clang-18 says:
.../rvu.c:2493:32: warning: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Wformat-security]
2493 | mw->mbox_wq = alloc_workqueue(name,
| ^~~~
.../rvu.c:2493:32: note: treat the string as an argument to avoid this
2493 | mw->mbox_wq = alloc_workqueue(name,
| ^
| "%s",
It is always the case where the contents of name is safe to pass as the
format argument. That is, in my understanding, it never contains any
format escape sequences.
But, it seems better to be safe than sorry. And, as a bonus, compiler
output becomes less verbose by addressing this issue as suggested by
clang-18.
Compile tested only.

In otx2_sqe_add_ext() iplen is used to hold a 16-bit big-endian value,
but it's type is u16, indicating a host byte order integer.
Address this mismatch by changing the type of iplen to __be16.
Flagged by Sparse as:
.../otx2_txrx.c:699:31: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
.../otx2_txrx.c:699:31: expected unsigned short [usertype] iplen
.../otx2_txrx.c:699:31: got restricted __be16 [usertype]
.../otx2_txrx.c:701:54: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
.../otx2_txrx.c:701:54: expected restricted __be16 [usertype] tot_len
.../otx2_txrx.c:701:54: got unsigned short [usertype] iplen
.../otx2_txrx.c:704:60: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
.../otx2_txrx.c:704:60: expected restricted __be16 [usertype] payload_len
.../otx2_txrx.c:704:60: got unsigned short [usertype] iplen
Introduced in
commit dc1a9bf2c816 ("octeontx2-pf: Add UDP segmentation offload support")
No functional change intended.

Oops, I now realise that the issue addressed by patch 1/2 is
not described there as being flagged by Sparse.
I'll plan to send a v2, with an updated cover letter,
after an appropriate timeout. Any review in the meantime
would be appreciated.
