The COMP1 and COMP2 elements are in 0 and 1 respectively so this code is
accessing the wrong elements and one space beyond the end of the array.

The "id" variable is never COMP (0) so that code can be removed.

Fixes: 6851ad3ab346 ("TPS65911: Comparator: Add comparator driver")

History:

Dan was the originator of this patch and the author of the commit log,
but produced 2 code solutions which I wasn't happy with.  The first
submission [0] introduced a COMP device, which after a quick check of
the datasheet [1] appeared to be fictitious.  A subsequent submission
[2] conducted arithmetic in array indexes.

It is my belief that the correct solution is to roll which the
situation the hardware engineers presented us with and define COMP1
at position 0 and COMP2 at position 1 such that we can use the
simplest code possible to select them.

Dan wasn't happy to put his name to this, which I completely
understand.  Calling SOMETHING1 0 (zero) is a little unnatural.

However, since I have no shame, I offered to submit it.

As an idly-curious passer-by, this looks perfectly reasonable to me - I 
don't see why a mapping between names and indices should have to be 
artificially constrained just because the names happen to contain 
numerals. If it's really that abhorrent, then I guess they could be 
named something like COMPn_ID for even more clarity.

That said, now that I've gone and looked, the whole business seems 
ridiculously over-engineered. AFAICS it would be infinitely simpler to 
just pass the register address directly where id is currently passed, 
statically define UV_MAX, and get rid of the otherwise-pointless struct 
comparator entirely. The current abstraction doesn't look like it could 
actually scale to support different chips without major surgery anyway.

Robin.

The background is that no one noticed that this driver stopped being
buildable in 2012 until I fixed it last week.  This is the third
proposed patch to fix the off by one.  All three patches fix the bug,
but Lee refused to accept my style and I refused to use Lee's style...
Absolutely *no way*!  LOL.  But really neither of us take it personally
and we've met in person before and collaborate over email and get along.

This thread has been pretty amusing for me, but let's move on.  :P

regards,
dan carpenter

Right.  This was my thinking too.

Sounds good.  Patches always welcome. ;)

+999

Plan is to let it sit for a week or so.  Give some more idle
passers-by to have their say.  Then I'll merge it regardless (/me
jokes).
