Ugg, you really shouldn't need to do that.
It means that something is badly wrong somewhere.
Casting pointers to integer types is just asking for a bug.

That's casting one pointer type to another pointer type.

It is casting the address of some type to a 'u32 *'.
This will then be dereferenced by the called function.
So the original type better be 32 bits.

I'm also guessing that sparse was complaining about endianness?
It isn't at all clear that these casts actually fix it.

The code in include/sound/pcm.h also does such __force cast.
#define _SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT(fmt)          (1ULL << (__force
int)SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_##fmt)

The change I have made does not cause an issue.

grrr... top-posting because outluck is really stupid :-(

The definition seems to be:
typedef int __bitwise<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc7/C/ident/__bitwise> snd_pcm_format_t<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc7/C/ident/snd_pcm_format_t>;
#define SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S8<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc7/C/ident/SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S8>    ((__force<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc7/C/ident/__force> snd_pcm_format_t<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc7/C/ident/snd_pcm_format_t>) 0)
#define SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_U8<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc7/C/ident/SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_U8>    ((__force<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc7/C/ident/__force> snd_pcm_format_t<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc7/C/ident/snd_pcm_format_t>) 1)
#define SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc7/C/ident/SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE>        ((__force<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc7/C/ident/__force> snd_pcm_format_t<https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19-rc7/C/ident/snd_pcm_format_t>) 2)
...
(goes away and looks up __bitwIse)

I think I’d add:
#define snd_pcm_format(val) ((__force snd_pcm_format_t)(val))
and use that to remove most of the casts.
But the ones where you have (u32 *)&xxx are only valid because u32 and int are the same size.
That does sort of happen to be true, but someone might look at all the values and
decide that u8 is big enough.
After which the code will still compile, but the data areas get corrupted.
So you really need to use a u32 ‘temp’ variable.

It would all be slightly less problematic if the ‘force’ casts could be sparse only
(ie not seen by the compiler) – so the compiler would do the type checking.

I'm also guessing that sparse was complaining about endianness?
It isn't at all clear that these casts actually fix it.
The sparse is complaining about the snd_pcm_format_t cast to u32/int type.

The code in include/sound/pcm.h also does such __force cast.
#define _SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT(fmt)          (1ULL << (__force int)SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_##fmt)
