[ Upstream commit caf6144053 ]
Clang is not happy about set but unused variable:
drivers/video/fbdev/matrox/g450_pll.c:412:18: error: variable 'mnp' set but not used
412 | unsigned int mnp;
| ^
1 error generated.
Since the commit 7b987887f9 ("video: fbdev: matroxfb: remove dead code
and set but not used variable") the 'mnp' became unused, but eliminating
that code might have side-effects. The question here is what should we do
with 'mnp'? The easiest way out is just mark it with __maybe_unused which
will shut the compiler up and won't change any possible IO flow. So does
this change.
A dive into the history of the driver:
The problem was revealed when the #if 0 guarded code along with unused
pixel_vco variable was removed. That code was introduced in the original
commit 213d22146d1f ("[PATCH] (1/3) matroxfb for 2.5.3"). And then guarded
in the commit 705e41f82988 ("matroxfb DVI updates: Handle DVI output on
G450/G550. Powerdown unused portions of G450/G550 DAC. Split G450/G550 DAC
from older DAC1064 handling. Modify PLL setting when both CRTCs use same
pixel clocks.").
NOTE: The two commits mentioned above pre-date Git era and available in
history.git repository for archaeological purposes.
Even without that guard the modern compilers may see that the pixel_vco
wasn't ever used and seems a leftover after some debug or review made
25 years ago.
The g450_mnp2vco() doesn't have any IO and as Jason said doesn't seem
to have any side effects either than some unneeded CPU processing during
runtime. I agree that's unlikely that timeout (or heating up the CPU) has
any effect on the HW (GPU/display) functionality.
