PATCH 1/1 spi: sirf: avoid uninitialized-use warning
24778be20 "spi: convert drivers to use bits_per_word_mask" removed the "default" statement in the spi_sirfsoc_setup_transfer switch, causing a new warning:
drivers/spi/spi-sirf.c: In function 'spi_sirfsoc_setup_transfer':arch/arm/include/asm/io.h:90:2: warning: 'rxfifo_ctrl' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

^drivers/spi/spi-sirf.c:364:19: note: 'rxfifo_ctrl' was declared here
u32 txfifo_ctrl, rxfifo_ctrl;
^The compiler has correctly identified that this case may happen, but since we know that things are horribly broken if bits_per_word is ever something other than the values we tested, calling BUG() is an appropriate action and tells the compiler that execution will not continue afterwards.

I keep using the wrong address for Mark even though I know it doesn't work any more. Sorry for the duplicate mail.

I guess this is fine, although BUG() seems a little scary, even though it is a bug.
In some of the other drivers, I converted:
if () {
} else if () {
} else {
error
}
... to:
if () {
} else {
}
... the equivalent of which would be to just add a "default:" to, say, the 8-bpw case in the switch. But I guess I don't feel too strongly either way.
