Subject: [PATCH] staging: vt6655: fix sparse warning "cast removes address space of expression"
Date: Sat, 31 May 2014 20:09:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401581345-13564-1-git-send-email-shack@linux.com> (raw)

Add missing __user macro to second parameter of ethtool_ioctl().
This removes the need for the offending (void *) cast of the user space pointer
rq->ifr_data.
