Subject: [PATCH 2/2] staging: dgap: Fixed sparse error: same symbol redeclared with different type
Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2014 23:18:42 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1394349522-20458-1-git-send-email-ody.guru@gmail.com> (raw)
sparse reported dgap_do_fep_load is redeclared with different type. while
fixing, I noticed __user attribute is used incorrectly in declaration.
There is no need to define __user for firware->data.
Replaced the __user with 'const uchar *' from function dgap_do_fep_load and
did the same for function dgap_do_bios_load.
