It wont cause any compile warning.

Applied for v3.17

It won't cause a compile warning.

Make a small test program and test.

Cannot say for sure would compiler complain.
I also haven't really checked it, and unfortunately even haven't
succeeded to make a config that would build that code. But i believe
that warning is still better than misbehaviour.

Hmm, while it is true that get_ipipe_mode returns an int, but
the consequent call to regw_ip takes an u32 as its second
argument. Did it cause a build warning for you? (Can't really
check since I don't have ARM cross compilers close-by)
If not, then:

[Andrey Utkin]

Use signed type to check correctly for negative error code. The issue
was reported with static analyser:

[linux-3.13/drivers/staging/media/davinci_vpfe/dm365_ipipe_hw.c:270]:
(style) A pointer can not be negative so it is either pointless or an
error to check if it is.
