It looks like this was a due to the fact that the new patches added __devinit tags in the same merge window the __devinit tag itself was getting removed.
As to the sparse warnings, this patch fixed the ones that were actual bugs in the new code, although we could have made that more clear in the patch description. http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=135716576204083&w=2 There is one outstanding issue I am aware of which was an array bounds compiler warning which looks to be a misdetection by the compiler. Wendy and I discussed adding a BUG_ON to stop the compiler from complaining. Wendy - lets queue these two changes up ASAP. They should both be very simple changes.
