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.
