[PATCH] byteswap: don't use __builtin_bswap*() with sparse

From: Johannes Berg
Date: Thu Aug 11 2016 - 07:15:17 EST


From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

Although sparse declares __builtin_bswap*(), it can't actually
do constant folding inside them (yet). As such, things like

switch (protocol) {
case htons(ETH_P_IP):
break;
}

which we do all over the place cause sparse to warn that it
expects a constant instead of a function call.

Disable __HAVE_BUILTIN_BSWAP*__ if __CHECKER__ is defined to
avoid this.
