Hi Stanimir,

While preparing a pull request I ran smatch and I found some issues with
hfi_parser.h:

When compiling vdec.c and venc.c with smatch I get a whole bunch of:

drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_parser.h:17:14: error: not an lvalue
drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_parser.h:21:16: error: not an lvalue
drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_parser.h:17:14: error: not an lvalue
drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/hfi_parser.h:21:16: error: not an lvalue

To be honest I don't quite understand what is happening here.

What I DO see is that get_cap can return ERR_PTR, but the CAP_MIN/MAX/STEP macros
do not test for that. It doesn't feel right, I think it might be better if you
move get_cap into the source and provide little cap_min/max/step inlines that
properly test the return code of get_cap and return 0 or something on error.

This is the command line I use to test with smatch:

make W=1 C=1 CHECK="smatch -p=kernel" drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/

I use smatch from here:

https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/smatch.git/

Otherwise everything looked good for this series, but I think this needs to
be fixed.

Regards,

	Hans
