proper way to deal with a sparse warning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm getting the following sparse warning:

drivers/net/gianfar_mii.c:165:16: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
drivers/net/gianfar_mii.c:165:16:    expected void *priv
drivers/net/gianfar_mii.c:165:16: got struct gfar_mii [noderef] * [assigned] regs<asn:2>

This is line 165 of gianfar_mii.c:

        new_bus->priv = regs;

new_bus->priv is of type void *. regs is of type struct gfar_mii __iomem *.

Is it acceptable to do the following:

	new_bus->priv = (void __force *)regs;
