I didn't just submit the patch because Sparse warns about it. I submitted the patch because of the coding style preference that led to the Sparse warning.
Also, if this really *shouldn't* form part of the kernel style, then the kernel should use -Wno-do-while with -Wall, or should stop using -Wall.
That said, I don't care all that much about the patch, so I won't push further for it one way or another.
