MIPS: Use address-of operator on section symbols
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.116 commit 7648f42d1a6241111078cd3f237086f998e63027 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5L64K Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=7648f42d1a6241111078cd3f237086f998e63027 -------------------------------- commit d422c6c0 upstream. When building xway_defconfig with clang: arch/mips/lantiq/prom.c:82:23: error: array comparison always evaluates to true [-Werror,-Wtautological-compare] else if (__dtb_start != __dtb_end) ^ 1 error generated. These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are just addresses. Using the address of operator silences the warning and does not change the resulting assembly with either clang/ld.lld or gcc/ld (tested with diff + objdump -Dr). Do the same thing across the entire MIPS subsystem to ensure there are no more warnings around this type of comparison.
