The nozomi wireless data driver has its own helper function to transfer data from a FIFO, doing an extra byte swap on big-endian architectures, presumably to bring the data back into byte-serial order after readw() or readl() perform their implicit byteswap. This helper function is used in the receive_data() function to first read the length into a 32-bit variable, which causes a compile-time warning: drivers/tty/nozomi.c: In function 'receive_data': drivers/tty/nozomi.c:857:9: warning: 'size' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] The problem is that gcc is unsure whether the data was actually read or not. We know that it is at this point, so we can replace it with a single readl() to shut up that warning. I am leaving the byteswap in there, to preserve the existing behavior, even though this seems fishy: Reading the length of the data into a cpu-endian variable should normally not use a second byteswap on big-endian systems, unless the hardware is aware of the CPU endianess. There appears to be a lot more confusion about endianess in this driver, so it probably has not worked on big-endian systems in a long time, if ever, and I have no way to test it. It's well possible that this driver has not been used by anyone in a while, the last patch that looks like it was tested on the hardware is from 2008. Signed-off-by:
