I compiled the code (the original version), but I do not get that 
"Should it be static?" warning:

Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#2)

I've seen that warning at different other code - but not in bcm.c & raw.c

I downloaded & compiled the latest sparse source. But still no "static" 
warning. Any idea?

Best regards,
Oliver
