Remove unnecessary static on local variable _base_ in both functions
moxart_of_pll_clk_init() and moxart_of_apb_clk_init(). Such variables
are initialized before being used, on every execution path throughout
the mentioned functions. The statics have no benefit and, removing
them reduce the code size.
This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:
@bad exists@
position p;
identifier x;
type T;
@@
static T x@p;
...
x = <+...x...+>
@@
identifier x;
expression e;
type T;
position p != bad.p;
@@
-static
T x@p;
... when != x
when strict
?x = e;
In the following log you can see the difference in the code size. Also,
notice that the bss segment is reduced down to zero. This log is the
output of the size command, before and after the code change:
before:
text data bss dec hex filename
1724 384 128 2236 8bc drivers/clk/clk-moxart.o
after:
text data bss dec hex filename

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
