[PATCH v2] ioatdma: silence GCC warnings

From: Paul Bolle
Date: Sat Jul 20 2013 - 14:05:15 EST


Building dma_v3.o triggers a GCC warning:
drivers/dma/ioat/dma_v3.c: In function â__ioat3_prep_pq16_lockâ:
drivers/dma/ioat/dma_v3.c:264:11: warning: array subscript is below array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
drivers/dma/ioat/dma_v3.c:264:11: warning: array subscript is below array bounds [-Warray-bounds]

This warning is caused by pq16_set_src(). It uses "int idx" as an index
to an eight element array. Changing "idx" to "unsigned" silences this
warning. Apparently GCC can then determine that "idx" will never be
negative.

0) v2: cut back to a one hunk change, as Dan suggested.

1) Still just compile tested.
