Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: codecs: ab8500: Fix casting of private data
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 21:22:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428192255.2294705-2-u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com> (raw)

From: "Christian A. Ehrhardt" <christian.ehrhardt@codasip.com>

ab8500_filter_controls[i].private_value is initialized using

	.private_value = (unsigned long)&(struct filter_control)
		{.count = xcount, .min = xmin, .max = xmax}

thus it's a pointer to a struct filter_control casted to unsigned long.

So to get back that pointer .private_data must be cast back, not its
address.

Hello,

note this is untested on actual hardware and was found by Christian using
clang-tidy and code inspection. I'm a bit irritated how/if that driver was used
since it was introduced into v3.6-rc1 in 2012. Maybe this is a hint that the
driver is unused?

Best regards
Uwe
