<content type='text'>
In clang version 21.1 and later the -Wimplicit-enum-enum-cast warning
option has been introduced. This warning is enabled by default and can
be used to catch .queuecommand() implementations that return another
value than 0 or one of the SCSI_MLQUEUE_* constants. Hence this patch
that changes the return type of the .queuecommand() implementations from
'int' into 'enum scsi_qc_status'. No functionality has been changed.

Instances are passed struct block_device *bdev argument; the only thing
it is used for (if it's used in the first place) is bdev-&gt;bd_disk.
Might as well pass that in the first place...

'struct pci_device_id' is not modified in these drivers.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  70237	   9137	    320	  79694	  1374e	drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  70461	   8913	    320	  79694	  1374e	drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.o

<title>scsi: Convert SCSI drivers to .sdev_configure()</title>

<content type='text'>
The only difference between the .sdev_configure() and .slave_configure()
methods is that the former accepts an additional 'limits' argument.
Convert all SCSI drivers that define a .slave_configure() method to
.sdev_configure(). This patch prepares for removing the
.slave_configure() method. No functionality has been changed.

<title>scsi: 3w-xxxx: Remove snprintf() from sysfs call-backs and replace with sysfs_emit()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:30cc6aa09eeea5a8ab66d4471f6bdb47dbfa14f9</id>
<content type='text'>
Since snprintf() has the documented, but still rather strange trait of
returning the length of the data that *would have been* written to the
array if space were available, rather than the arguably more useful
length of data *actually* written, it is usually considered wise to use
something else instead in order to avoid confusion.

In the case of sysfs call-backs, new wrappers exist that do just that.

Smatch complains that:

tw_probe() warn: missing error code 'retval'

This patch adds error checking to tw_probe() to handle initialization
failure. If tw_reset_sequence() function returns a non-zero value, the
function will return -EINVAL to indicate initialization failure.

<content type='text'>
One-element arrays are deprecated, and we are replacing them with flexible
array members instead. So, replace one-element array with flexible-array
member in struct TAG_TW_New_Ioctl and refactor the rest of the code,
accordingly.

Notice that, in multiple places, the subtraction of 1 from
sizeof(TW_New_Ioctl) is removed, as this operation is now implicit
after the flex-array transformation.

The variable retval is being initialized with a value that is never read,
it is being updated immediately afterwards. The assignment is redundant and
can be removed.

struct device supports attribute groups directly but does not support
struct device_attribute directly. Hence switch to attribute groups.
