#     timer-of: don't use conditional expression with mixed 'void' types
#     
#     Randy Dunlap reports on the sparse list that sparse warns about this
#     expression:
#     
#             of_irq->percpu ? free_percpu_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt) :
#                     free_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt);
#     
#     and honestly, sparse is correct to warn.  The return type of
#     free_percpu_irq() is 'void', while free_irq() returns a 'const void *'
#     that is the devname argument passed in to the request_irq().
#     
#     You can't mix a void type with a non-void types in a conditional
#     expression according to the C standard.  It so happens that gcc seems to
#     accept it - and the resulting type of the expression is void - but
#     there's really no reason for the kernel to have this kind of
#     non-standard expression with no real upside.
#     
#     The natural way to write that expression is with an if-statement:
#     
#             if (of_irq->percpu)
#                     free_percpu_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt);
#             else
#                     free_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt);
#     
#     which is more legible anyway.
#     
#     I'm not sure why that timer-of code seems to have this odd pattern.  It
#     does the same at allocation time, but at least there the types match,
#     and it makes sense as an expression.
