I did a review of some Smatch warnings.  These aren't published because
they generate too many false positives.  Only number 3 and number 7
are actual issues the rest are style nit-picks.

1. drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/vchiq_arm/vchiq_core.c:2728 vchiq_add_service_internal() info: returning a literal zero is cleaner
s/return service;/return NULL;/

2. drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/vchiq_arm/vchiq_arm.c:408 vchiq_shutdown() info: returning a literal zero is cleaner
Delete the "ret" variable.

3. drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-camera/controls.c:198 ctrl_set_iso() warn: array off by one? 'iso_values[ctrl->val]'
There seems to be a mixup between iso_qmenu[] and iso_values[].  The one
is only used for ARRAY_SIZE() and the other is never checked for
ARRAY_SIZE().

4. drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-camera/bcm2835-camera.c:337 buffer_cb() warn: can 'buf' even be NULL?
Delete the NULL check.

5. drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-camera/bcm2835-camera.c:513 start_streaming() pedantic: propagate return from 'enable_camera' instead of returning '-EINVAL'
-       if (enable_camera(dev) < 0) {
+       ret = enable_camera(dev);
+       if (ret) {
                v4l2_err(&dev->v4l2_dev, "Failed to enable camera\n");
-               return -EINVAL;
+               return ret;
        }
6. drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-camera/bcm2835-camera.c:576 start_streaming() pedantic: propagate return from 'disable_camera' instead of returning '-EINVAL'
Same.

7. drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-camera/bcm2835-camera.c:881 vidioc_querycap() error: uninitialized symbol 'major'.
   drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-camera/bcm2835-camera.c:881 vidioc_querycap() error: uninitialized symbol 'minor'.
No error checking on vchiq_mmal_version()

8. drivers/staging/vc04_services/bcm2835-camera/bcm2835-camera.c:1276 mmal_setup_components() info: returning a literal zero is cleaner
s/return ret;/return 0;/
