This is pre git code. It's not clear if the tmp is supposed to be used
or if we can remove the sp8870_readreg() call also... The problem is
that we're disabling the warning without necessarily writing the best
fix. It's better to leave the warning there until we are more sure of
the correct fix. The warning has useful information and it's not
hurting anyone.
