Subject: [PATCH] iio: temperature: ltc2983: avoid -Wstring-compare warning
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 14:48:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002124902.3703019-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
When __ltc2983_custom_sensor_new() is inlined into a caller, gcc notices
that the string compare can never succeed and warns about this being a
possible mistake:
In function '__ltc2983_custom_sensor_new',
inlined from 'ltc2983_thermistor_new' at drivers/iio/temperature/ltc2983.c:1079:24:
drivers/iio/temperature/ltc2983.c:559:29: error: 'strcmp' of a string of length 24 and an array of size 22 evaluates to nonzero [-Werror=string-compare]
559 | if ((index % 2) != 0 && !strcmp(propname, "adi,custom-leak-detector"))
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a false positive warning as the code always works correctly,
though the strcmp() is a somewhat elaborate way of identifying the caller.
Rework this by replacing both the strcmp() and the is_steinhart flag with
the sensor->type that is always available anyway and identifies with
code path gets taken.
Fixes: 3dd0c048409e ("iio: temperature: ltc2983: Add support for ADT7604")
