The -Warray-bounds warning in gcc-8 triggers for a newly added file:
drivers/media/spi/cxd2880-spi.c: In function 'cxd2880_write_reg':
drivers/media/spi/cxd2880-spi.c:111:3: error: 'memcpy' forming offset [133, 258] is out of the bounds [0, 132] of object 'send_data' with type 'u8[132]' {aka 'unsigned char[132]'} [-Werror=array-bounds]
The problem appears to be that we have two range checks in this function,
first comparing against BURST_WRITE_MAX (128) and then comparing against
a literal '255'. The logic checking the buffer size looks at the second
one and decides that this might be the actual maximum data length.
This is understandable behavior from the compiler, but the code is actually
safe. Since the first check is already shorter, we can remove the loop
and only leave that. To be on the safe side in case BURST_WRITE_MAX might
be increased, I'm leaving the check against U8_MAX.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
