I don't like silencing false positives in this way. It's better to ignore the warning. The bounds err in ni6501_port_command() was a false positive too, but the fix for that made to code more readable so it was a good thing. regards, dan carpenter
Would a sanity check in __comedi_device_postconfig() ("drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.c") to prevent s->n_chan being set to a silly value in the first place suppress the coverity issue?
