[PATCH 23/28] x86: mark target address as output in 'insb' asm

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Oct 17 2016 - 18:21:02 EST


The -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning triggers for one driver using the output
of the 'insb' I/O helper on x86:

drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c: In function âwl3501_mgmt_scan_confirmâ:
drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:665:9: error: âsig.statusâ is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:668:12: error: âsig.cap_infoâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

Apparently the assember constraints are slightly off here, as marking the
'addr' argument as a memory output seems appropriate here and gets rid
of the warning. For consistency I'm also adding it as input for outsb().

I'm not an x86 person and gcc inline assembly mystifies me all the time,
so please review this carefully and suggest a better way if this is not
how it should be done.
