Yes semantic patch did the changes to use preferred APIs, And it also changed this BUG_ON(irq_set_handler_data(irq, &gic_data[gic_nr]) != 0) But we have to take care that condition has no side effects i.e. if()/BUG conversion to BUG_ON must be avoided when there's side effect in condition. The reason being BUG_ON won't execute the condition when CONFIG_BUG is not defined As suggested by Julia Lawall Thats why did not take that change --> (BUG_ON(irq_set_handler_data(irq, &gic_data[gic_nr]) != 0)) >Further, while we are at that.

Yes coccinelle semantic patches did not do that changes. we have to choose whether to make BUG_ON conditional on some debug options. Thanks, Maninder {.n++%ݶw{.n+{G{ayʇڙ,jfhz_(階ݢj"mG?&~iOzv^m ?I
