Yes, that was my thinking. Adding proper error handling would complicate the function (more visibly so in ub953 and ub960, which have more printing done), and what would be the benefit? Not much, in my opinion. If the i2c transactions start to fail, we're in a bad situation anyway (and, as you mention, ub913_read() will print errors). However, I guess the "benefit" depends on the use a bit. If log status is used as a debug aid, I think my reasoning is fine. But if it's used by some automated script, to collect data, it may be more difficult for the script to detect that an error has happened in the log status. That said, I have to say this ignore-errors code somewhat bugs me, so maybe I'll improve the log-status functions later. But I think these are acceptable fixes to get rid of the smatch errors. Tomi
