Not sure about the sparse version.  I obtained the most recent version
with git on 15 Apr 2009.

I just rechecked the original file and I do see the warning.

  CHECK   drivers/usb/core/hub.c
drivers/usb/core/hub.c:472:3: warning: symbol 'temp' shadows an earlier
One drivers/usb/core/hub.c:460:20: originally declared here

This was found on a EP93xx ARM platform. It appears the sparse warning 
is caused by the raw_local_irq_save() macro in
arch/arm/include/asm/irqflags.h.

Sorry about the line-wrapping. I'm still trying to work that out.

I noticed the trailing spaces getting fixed in the patch. I didn't
know I had to mention that in the patch description. Again sorry.
