Re: [PATCH net-next 08/10] net: mdio: Remove unnecessary (void*) conversions

Hi,

I think you missed one case:

        if (mdio_id == XGENE_MDIO_RGMII) {
                mdio_bus->read = xgene_mdio_rgmii_read;
                mdio_bus->write = xgene_mdio_rgmii_write;
                mdio_bus->priv = (void __force *)pdata;

This cast using __force is also not required.

These probably cause Sparse to warn whether or not the cast is there.

Given that in this case, bus->priv is initialised via:

                mdio_bus->priv = (void __force *)pdata->mdio_csr_addr;

I think the simple thing is to _always_ initialise mdio_bus->priv
to point at pdata, and have xgene_xfi_mdio_*() always do:

	struct xgene_mdio_pdata *pdata = bus->priv;
	void __iomem *addr = pdata->mdio_csr_addr;

The extra access will be dwarfed by the time taken to perform the
access.

This change should be made with a separate patch and not combined with
the patch removing the casts in xgene_mdio_rgmii_*().

Thanks.
