Clang warns after commit 8985167ecf57 ("clk: s2mps11: Fix matching when built as module and DT node contains compatible"):
drivers/clk/clk-s2mps11.c:242:34: warning: variable 's2mps11_dt_match' is not needed and will not be emitted [-Wunneeded-internal-declaration] static const struct of_device_id s2mps11_dt_match[] = { ^ 1 warning generated.
This warning happens when a variable is used in some construct that doesn't require a reference to that variable to be emitted in the symbol table; in this case, it's MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE, which only needs to hold the data of the variable, not the variable itself.
$ nm -S drivers/clk/clk-s2mps11.o | rg s2mps11_dt_match 00000078 000003d4 R __mod_of__s2mps11_dt_match_device_table
Normally, with device ID table variables, it means that the variable just needs to be tied to the device declaration at the bottom of the file, like s2mps11_clk_id:
$ nm -S drivers/clk/clk-s2mps11.o | rg s2mps11_clk_id 00000000 00000078 R __mod_platform__s2mps11_clk_id_device_table 00000000 00000078 r s2mps11_clk_id
However, because the comment above this deliberately doesn't want this variable added to .of_match_table, we need to mark s2mps11_dt_match as __used to silence this warning. This makes it clear to Clang that the variable is used for something, even if a reference to it isn't being emitted.
