| |
It's been quite a while that we had sparse support in the build system, and we still disable the checks for endianess annotations by default.
For many subsystems these are arguably the most useful ones, and with Fengguang's build bot running sparse checks we're also being harder on driver maintainers to sort these out even where they don't matter too much for them (e.g. PCI hardware that mostly runs on x86).
Is there any reason to still keep the opt-in for these when running sparse?
Now running sparse by default if available would be another useful project, but I'll save that for a later time..
