[ Upstream commit caf6144053b4e1c815aa56afb54745a176f999df ]

Clang is not happy about set but unused variable:

drivers/video/fbdev/matrox/g450_pll.c:412:18: error: variable 'mnp' set but not used
   412 |         unsigned int mnp;
       |                      ^
1 error generated.

Since the commit 7b987887f97b ("video: fbdev: matroxfb: remove dead code
and set but not used variable") the 'mnp' became unused, but eliminating
that code might have side-effects. The question here is what should we do
with 'mnp'? The easiest way out is just mark it with __maybe_unused which
will shut the compiler up and won't change any possible IO flow. So does
this change.

A dive into the history of the driver:

The problem was revealed when the #if 0 guarded code along with unused
pixel_vco variable was removed. That code was introduced in the original
commit 213d22146d1f ("[PATCH] (1/3) matroxfb for 2.5.3"). And then guarded
in the commit 705e41f82988 ("matroxfb DVI updates: Handle DVI output on
G450/G550. Powerdown unused portions of G450/G550 DAC. Split G450/G550 DAC
from older DAC1064 handling. Modify PLL setting when both CRTCs use same
pixel clocks.").

NOTE: The two commits mentioned above pre-date Git era and available in
history.git repository for archaeological purposes.

Even without that guard the modern compilers may see that the pixel_vco
wasn't ever used and seems a leftover after some debug or review made
25 years ago.

The g450_mnp2vco() doesn't have any IO and as Jason said doesn't seem
to have any side effects either than some unneeded CPU processing during
runtime. I agree that's unlikely that timeout (or heating up the CPU) has
any effect on the HW (GPU/display) functionality.

<content type='text'>
commit f685dd7a8025f2554f73748cfdb8143a21fb92c7 upstream.

Commit 62d89a7d49af ("video: fbdev: matroxfb: set maxvram of vbG200eW to
the same as vbG200 to avoid black screen") accidently decreases the
maximum memory size for the Matrox G200eW (102b:0532) from 8 MB to 1 MB
by missing one zero. This caused the driver initialization to fail with
the messages below, as the minimum required VRAM size is 2 MB:

     [    9.436420] matroxfb: Matrox MGA-G200eW (PCI) detected
     [    9.444502] matroxfb: cannot determine memory size
     [    9.449316] matroxfb: probe of 0000:0a:03.0 failed with error -1

So, add the missing 0 to make it the intended 16 MB. Successfully tested on
the Dell PowerEdge R910/0KYD3D, BIOS 2.10.0 08/29/2013, that the warning is
gone.

While at it, add a leading 0 to the maxdisplayable entry, so it’s aligned
properly. The value could probably also be increased from 8 MB to 16 MB, as
the G200 uses the same values, but I have not checked any datasheet.

Note, matroxfb is obsolete and superseded by the maintained DRM driver
mga200, which is used by default on most systems where both drivers are
available. Therefore, on most systems it was only a cosmetic issue.

This is one of the last drivers with a global init_module() function
instead of the modern module_init() annotation. Convert it over.

<title>treewide: remove editor modelines and cruft</title>

The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in
Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any
of these in source files."

I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one.

Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code
and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups.

It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it.

If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think
editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.

<title>treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911</id>
<content type='text'>
Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.
