drivers/net/ethernet: handle one warning explicitly
While fixing the W=1 builds, this warning came up because the developers used a very tricky way to get structures initialized to a non-zero value, but this causes GCC to warn about an override. In this case the override was intentional, so just disable the warning for this code with a kernel macro that results in disabling the warning for compiles on GCC versions after 8. It is not appropriate to change the struct to initialize all the values as it will just add a lot more code for no value. The code is completely correct as is, we just want to acknowledge that this code could generate a warning and we're ok with that. NOTE: the __diag_ignore macro currently only accepts a second argument of 8 (version 80000), it's either use this one or open code the pragma. Fixed Warnings example (all the same): drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c:51:12: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init] drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c:52:12: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init] drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c:53:13: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init] + 256 more...
