Summary:                    [patch] warnings from sparse
Description: 
sparse is a static code parser written by Linus Torvalds mainly for usage
with the kernel code. It can be found in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/sparse/ and is packaged with some
distributions (in Debian: under non-free).

To check a kernel code with sparse, run either:

  make C=1 # test only newer code that is being compiled

or:
  
  make C=2 # test everything that can be built

The attached sparse_log is a log for building dahdi-linux r5118 with 'make
C=2'

Right now the number of warnings and errors is:

$ egrep ' (warning|error):' sparse_log | wc -l
397

Also included is a patch that demonstrates fixing some of the simpler and
more common issues ('static' and 'C99 initializor') in some of the modules.

Just wanted to send a reminder to Kevin so he can review this as it looks
like something he will be best to comment on. I'm trying not to assign
things to Kevin due to his work load, but wanted to point this one out
specifically.
