This one is a false positive:

static const struct sfdp_bfpt_read sfdp_bfpt_reads[] = {
	/* Fast Read 1-1-2 */
	{
		SNOR_HWCAPS_READ_1_1_2,
		BFPT_DWORD(1), BIT(16),	/* Supported bit */
		BFPT_DWORD(4), 0,	/* Settings */
		SNOR_PROTO_1_1_2,
	},
	[...]
};

static int spi_nor_parse_bfpt(...)
{
	[...]
	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(sfdp_bfpt_reads); i++) {
		const struct sfdp_bfpt_read *rd = &sfdp_bfpt_reads[i];
		[...]
		cmd = spi_nor_hwcaps_read2cmd(rd->hwcaps);
		read = &params->reads[cmd];
		[...]
	}
	[...]
}

sfdp_bfpt_reads[] is a static const array where each element has a valid
.hwcaps value so spi_nor_hwcaps_read2cmd() can actually never return an
out of range 'cmd' result here.


However in spi_nor_select_read(), spi_nor_hwcaps_read2cmd() is called
too but this time its input argument now comes from the spi_nor_scan()
caller so in this later case the code already checks the output of
spi_nor_hwcaps_read2cmd() as it could be -EINVAL.


Do you want us to take this patch anyway to please the code checker ?
I don't think it is mandatory as a fix for 4.14-rc2.

Best regards,

Cyrille
