v4l2_subdev_call is a macro returning whatever the callback return
type is, usually 'int'. With gcc-7 and ccache, this can lead to
many wanings like:

media/platform/pxa_camera.c: In function 'pxa_mbus_build_fmts_xlate':
media/platform/pxa_camera.c:766:27: error: ?: using integer constants in boolean context [-Werror=int-in-bool-context]
  while (!v4l2_subdev_call(subdev, pad, enum_mbus_code, NULL, &code)) {
media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_cmd.c: In function 'atomisp_s_ae_window':
media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_cmd.c:6414:52: error: ?: using integer constants in boolean context [-Werror=int-in-bool-context]
  if (v4l2_subdev_call(isp->inputs[asd->input_curr].camera,

The best workaround I could come up with is to change all the
callers that use the return code from v4l2_subdev_call() in an
'if' or 'while' condition.

In case of simple 'if' checks, adding a temporary variable is
usually ok, and sometimes this can be used to propagate or
print an error code, so I do that.

For the 'while' loops, I ended up adding an otherwise useless
comparison with zero, which unfortunately makes the code a little
uglied.

Changing:

- if (!frob()) {
+ if (frob() == 0) {

is a totally pointless change.  They're both bad, because they're doing
success testing instead of failure testing, but probably the second one
is slightly worse.

This warning seems dumb.  I can't imagine it has even a 10% success rate
at finding real bugs.  Just disable it.

Changing the code to propagate error codes, is the right thing of course
so long as it doesn't introduce bugs.

It found a two of bugs that I fixed earlier:

f0e8faa7a5e8 ("ARM: ux500: fix prcmu_is_cpu_in_wfi() calculation")
af15769ffab1 ("scsi: mvsas: fix command_active typo")

plus three patches from this series:

1. staging:iio:resolver:ad2s1210 fix negative IIO_ANGL_VEL read
2. isdn: isdnloop: suppress a gcc-7 warning (my patch is wrong,
   as Joe pointed out there is a real bug)
3. drm/vmwgfx: avoid gcc-7 parentheses (here, Linus had a better
   analysis of the problem, so we should consider that a bug as well)

I would estimate around 25% success rate here, which isn't that
bad for a new warning.

I agree that most of the false positives are really dumb though.

Is the original code buggy?

media/platform/omap3isp/ispccdc.c
  1156          /* Compute the lane shifter shift value and enable the bridge when the
  1157           * input format is a non-BT.656 YUV variant.

  1159          fmt_src.pad = pad->index;
  1160          fmt_src.which = V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE;
  1161          if (!v4l2_subdev_call(sensor, pad, get_fmt, NULL, &fmt_src)) {
  1162                  fmt_info = omap3isp_video_format_info(fmt_src.format.code);
  1163                  depth_in = fmt_info->width;
  1164          }

If v4l2_subdev_call() then depth_in is zero.

  1165  
  1166          fmt_info = omap3isp_video_format_info(format->code);
  1167          depth_out = fmt_info->width;
  1168          shift = depth_in - depth_out;
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

How do we know that this subtraction doesn't set "shift" to a very high
positive?

Ah...  I see why it's complaining about these ones in particular...

I don't agree with it as a static analysis dev, and I don't like the
changes too much.  But since it's only generating a hand full of
warnings then I don't care.

What I mean is if it's a macro that returns -ENODEV or a function that
returns -ENODEV, they should both be treated the same.  The other
warnings this check prints are quite clever.

Please keep the -EINVAL here. I can't be 100% certain that returning 'ret' wouldn't
break something.

Same here: just keep the 'return -EINVAL'.

This is all very hackish, though. I'm not terribly keen on this patch. It's not
clear to me *why* these warnings appear in your setup.

The subtle problem here is that v4l2_subdev_call will return -ENOIOCTLCMD if
ops->vbi->g_sliced_fmt == NULL, which typically is not returned to userspace
but either ignored or replaced by another error. It indicates that the
sub device doesn't implement this operation, and it depends on the context
and the operation whether or not that is to be considered an error.

I have no clue what is expected here, without digging deep in the code.

Better to keep it as-is. It really isn't important to waste time on this.

Sounds good.

I'm OK with applying this if there is no other way to prevent these warnings.

Small update: I noticed that having ccache being the default compiler
even with CCACHE_DISABLE=1 causes a lot of these warnings. Completely
taking ccache out of the picture however seems to have eliminated the
warnings about v4l2_subdev_call() and other silly warnings, but not
the interesting ones in the -Wint-in-bool-context category.
