[PATCH] drm/amd/display: Fixed the unused-but-set-variable warning

[Aashish Sharma]

Fixed this kernel test robot warning:

drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dmub/inc/dmub_cmd.h:2893:12:
warning: variable 'temp' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Replaced the assignment to the unused temp variable with READ_ONCE()
macro to flush the writes.

also drop the volatile in the typecast

The above commented out code serves no purpose and should be removed as well.

Thanks,

Maybe:

Fix the kernel test robot warning below:

Replace …

Excuse my ignorance regarding `READ_ONCE()`, but is that the reason you 
remove the volatile qualifier?

Some robots ask in their report to add a Found-by tag. If so, please add 
one.

Did you verify, that the generated code is the same now, or what the 
differences are. If it’s different from before, you should document in 
the commit message, that it’s wanted, as otherwise, it’s an invasive 
change just to fix a warning.

Uuh, sorry, I have to take the blame for that. I am guiding Aashish
through the process of submitting patches upstream, and I completely
missed that.

It is not the reason to remove volatile, it is to enable removing it.
I had suggested using it, following its description " ... Ensuring
that the compiler does not fold, spindle, or otherwise  * mutilate
accesses ... ", to avoid the use of volatile, and to make it obvious
from the code that the read is intentional. My apologies if that is
the wrong approach. A simpler solution would be to just remove the
temp variable if that is preferred.

I think that should be "Reported-by", or more specifically

Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>

The generated code is exactly the same on x86.
