From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Mark Brown Subject: [PATCH] spi: Use void pointers for data in simple SPI I/O operations Date: Wed, 11 May 2011 00:09:30 +0200 Message-ID: <1305065370-28616-1-git-send-email-broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com> Cc: spi-devel-general@lists.sourceforge.net, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, patches@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com, Mark Brown To: Grant Likely Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-spi.vger.kernel.org Currently the simple SPI I/O operations all take pointers to u8 * buffers to operate on. This creates needless type compatibility issues and the underlying spi_transfer structure uses void pointers anyway so convert the API over to take void pointers too.
