Following are the sparse warnings I am seeing when building for an
EP93xx ARM platform:

  CHECK   drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c:626:2: warning: symbol 'temp' shadows an
earlier one
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c:574:14: originally declared here
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c:634:4: warning: symbol 'temp' shadows an
earlier one
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c:574:14: originally declared here
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c:676:3: warning: symbol 'temp' shadows an
earlier one
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c:574:14: originally declared here
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c:724:2: warning: symbol 'temp' shadows an
earlier one
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c:574:14: originally declared here
drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c:69:2: warning: context imbalance in
'finish_urb': __context__ statement expected different context
drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c:69:2:    context '<noident>': wanted >= 0, got

drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c:991:15: warning: context problem in
'finish_unlinks': 'finish_urb' expected different context
drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c:991:15:    context 'lock': wanted >= 1, got 0
drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c:1082:13: warning: context problem in
'takeback_td': 'finish_urb' expected different context
drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c:1082:13:    context 'lock': wanted >= 1, got 0
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c:298:14: warning: context problem in
'ohci_urb_dequeue': 'finish_urb' expected different context
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c:298:14:    context 'lock': wanted >= 1, got
0

All the 'temp' shadows warnings appear to be caused by the
raw_local_irq_disable() macro in arch/arm/include/asm/irqflags.h.

I have no idea how to fix the context imbalance warnings so I left
those alone. The functions seem to be tagged correctly with __releases()
and __acquires() as needed. Could those be a problem with sparse?
