You didn't look at my code, I suggested:

	mxic = (struct nand_onfi_vendor_macronix *) p->info->vendor;

I.e, you indeed still need a cast, because p->info->vendor is a u8[].
But instead of casting to void*, and then implicitly casting to struct
nand_onfi_vendor_macronix *, I suggest to cast directly to struct
nand_onfi_vendor_macronix *.

No, you don't get this warning if you use my code. You get this warning
if you declare and initialized the "mxic" variable at the same location.

You are dereferencing p->info...

... before you check it is NULL. This is wrong.

Please check again the code I sent in my previous e-mail:

    struct nand_onfi_vendor_macronix *mxic;
 
    if (!p->onfi)
       return;
 
    mxic = (struct nand_onfi_vendor_macronix *) p->info->vendor;
 
    if ((mxic->reliability_func & MACRONIX_READ_RETRY_BIT) == 0)
       return;
