3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit e3ebd894f084255fde19116955ba7054858ff5d6 upstream.
The smc91x driver defines a macro that compares its argument to
itself, apparently to get a true result while using its argument
to avoid a warning about unused local variables.
Unfortunately, this triggers a warning with gcc-6, as the comparison
is obviously useless:
drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/smc91x.c: In function 'smc_hardware_send_pkt':
drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/smc91x.c:563:14: error: self-comparison always
evaluates to true [-Werror=tautological-compare]
if (!smc_special_trylock(&lp->lock, flags)) {
This replaces the macro with another one that behaves similarly,
with a cast to (void) to ensure the argument is used, and using
a literal 'true' as its value.
