Hi Joel

Oh man, this is embarrassing!

Oh yeah, of course. It's even in the example in the binding that I wrote.

I built (as part of OpenBMC) and ran (on actual HW), but these
warnings don't make it out to the console. In my "defense", I did run
checkpatch.pl, though.

Is there an easy way for me to see these types of warnings? Or should
they really come out as errors?

I'll fix and send a PATCH v3.

I'm really sorry, this shouldn't be so much work for you!

Oskar.
