When we build this driver with on x86-32, gcc produces a false-positive warning:
drivers/clk/renesas/clk-sh73a0.c: In function 'sh73a0_cpg_clocks_init': drivers/clk/renesas/clk-sh73a0.c:155:10: error: 'parent_name' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] return clk_register_fixed_factor(NULL, name, parent_name, 0,
We can work around that warning by adding a fake initialization, I tried and failed to come up with any better workaround. This is currently one of few remaining warnings for a 4.14.y randconfig build, so it would be good to also have it backported at least to that version. Older versions have more randconfig warnings, so we might not care.
I had not noticed this earlier, because one patch in my randconfig test tree removes the '-ffreestanding' option on x86-32, and that avoids the warning. The -ffreestanding flag was originally global but moved into arch/i386 by Andi Kleen in commit 6edfba1b33c7 ("[PATCH] x86_64: Don't define string functions to builtin") as a 'temporary workaround'.
Like many temporary hacks, this turned out to be rather long-lived, from all I can tell we still need a simple fix to asm/string_32.h before it can be removed, but I'm not sure about how to best do that.
