Oops, indeed.

There were no warnings AFAIK.

Actually, the best fix might be the following patch:

-----
From: Nicolas Pitre <nico@....org>

Commit 51ac3beffd removed an apparently unused local variable from 
smc_request_attrib(), but some platforms actually needs the lp variable 
to define SMC_IO_SHIFT which is used to define ATTRIB_SIZE.

Let's always add a reference to lp to avoid such mistakes in the future,
which in the constant case gets optimized away at compile time.
