The code to try to shut up sparse warnings about questionable locking didn't shut up sparse: it made the result not parse as valid C at all, since the end result now has a label with no statement. The proper fix is to just always lock the hardware, the same way Bart did in commit8ae178760b("scsi: qla2xxx: Simplify the functions for dumping firmware"). That avoids the whole problem with having locking that is not statically obvious. But in the meantime, just remove the incorrect attempt at trying to avoid a sparse warning that just made things worse. This was exposed by commit3e6efab865("scsi: qla2xxx: Fix reset of MPI firmware"), very similarly to how commitcbb01c2f2f("scsi: qla2xxx: Fix MPI failure AEN (8200) handling") exposed the same problem in another place, and caused that commit8ae178760b. Please don't add code to just shut up sparse without actually fixing what sparse complains about.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
