Thanks. Unfortunately I'm still having problems with verify/aiaiai :|

After your change I started verify again and it took 3 minutes to let
me know it needs mips-linux-gcc. I had to install it (OpenWRT is using
it's own toolchain).

Then I started again and after 3 minutes: lacking sparse

3 minutes later: lacking smatch

3 minutes later: lacking cppcheck

3 minutes later: lacking spatch

I'm not sure what's going to be next. I'm sure that things are obvious
for you, but beginner can really get irritated before he manages to
setup everything... ;/
