sparse was complaning about an incorrect type cast:
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1:    expected unsigned short [unsigned] [short] [usertype] <noident>
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1:    got restricted __be16 [usertype] <noident>
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1:    expected unsigned short [unsigned] [short] [usertype] <noident>
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1:    got restricted __be16 [usertype] <noident>

The solution is to add an extra parameter to the macro to
diferenciate between buffer type and data type.

Ugh, messy.  Please resend and cc: the maintainers of this driver/code
so that they can verify this is correct.  As it is, I have no way of
determining that...

thanks,
