Ah, good idea, I checked and I have that set, however, I understand
what's going on now.

Thanks! that's interesting on it's own!

Good point, I'll check that.

If I'm not mistaken *all* the warnings you had listed are from C=1
(sparse) which would be best fixed with a second set of patches. This
set of patches only aimed to get rid of the W=1 (gcc warnings and kdoc
warnings from scripts/kernel-doc)

If you run the commands separately you'll see what I mean.
make W=1 M=drivers/net/ethernet
make C=2 M=drivers/net/ethernet

C=2 will force the sparse check but unfortunately will also rebuild
everything again.

I see about 1188 unique sparse warnings in drivers/net/ethernet and
only 16 unique errors from sparse.  It's a lot but fixable. However my
experience with these warnings is that I could break something in
fixing them on drivers I can't test.

I just did some spelunking on the sparse warnings, there are only 82
different ones (many are repeated).  About half are context
imbalances where a lock maybe isn't released. I would bet a bunch are
undetected bugs.

TL;DR

Here is a list of driver files with sparse warnings from C=1, maybe we
can encourage some others to help me fix them?
