The kernel test robot reports a compile warning due the ssd130x_spi_table
variable being defined but not used. This happen when ssd130x-spi driver
is built-in instead of being built as a module, i.e:
CC drivers/gpu/drm/solomon/ssd130x-spi.o
AR drivers/base/firmware_loader/built-in.a
AR drivers/base/built-in.a
CC kernel/trace/trace.o
drivers/gpu/drm/solomon/ssd130x-spi.c:155:35: warning: ‘ssd130x_spi_table’ defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
155 | static const struct spi_device_id ssd130x_spi_table[] = {
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The driver shouldn't need a SPI device ID table and only have an OF device
ID table, but the former is needed to workaround an issue in the SPI core.
This always reports a MODALIAS of the form "spi:<device>" even for devices
registered through Device Trees.
But the table is only needed when the driver built as a module to populate
the .ko alias info. It's not needed when the driver is built-in the kernel.

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.
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.
