Mind resending this with a proper changelog, along the template of:

|  This Sparse warning:
|
|      arch/x86/kernel/amd_iommu.c...
|
|  triggers because <reason>. <do action> to fix that - this also
|  addresses the Sparse warning.

Where, in this current case:

 <reason>    := device_nb is global but is only used in a single .c file
 <do action> := change device_nb to static

Please fill in the reason and action for the NULL fix as well.

Please write all similar warning fix commit log messages in a 
similar way in the future if you want me to apply them.

Thanks,

	Ingo
