[PATCH 1/2 v2] Staging:android: Change type for binder_debug_no_lock switch to bool

[Zhengwang Ruan]

GCC warns that module_param_named() indirectly returns a bool type value
which is different from 'int' type binder_debug_no_lock declared. Change
it to bool because it is a internal switch for debugging.

Why do you clear the warning on buffer_size with uninitialized_var()
but not on buffer? Neither variable is used before being initialized.

struct binder_buffer *buffer;
size_t buffer_size;
struct rb_node *best_fit = NULL;

I see 'best_fit' is initialized by being directly assigned a NULL 
pointer, I think it should be better to initialize pointer in this way.

I got the following compiling warning against buffer ans buffer_size:

drivers/staging/android/binder.c:719:24: warning: ‘buffer’ may be used 
uninitialized in this function
drivers/staging/android/binder.c:720:9: warning: ‘buffer_size’ may be 
used uninitialized in this function

Doesn't say that for me at all, what version of gcc are you using?  I'm
using 4.6.2 here, and if you are using an older version, then please
upgrade to one smarter than the one you are using.

As you are trying to paper over gcc issues, I can't take this patch,
sorry.

Please just be patient.

It is a messy thing because now there are comments on this resend
which will never be read until after the original patch submission
is applied.  If people want their comments read, they should go to
the original patch and write something there.

[PATCH 1/2 v2] Staging:android: Change type for binder_debug_no_lock switch to bool

[Zhengwang Ruan]

GCC warns that module_param_named() indirectly returns a bool type value
which is different from 'int' type binder_debug_no_lock declared. Change
it to bool because it is a internal switch for debugging.
