Apparently Dan Carpenter sent a fix for this compiler warning the day
after I submitted mine. Dan's patch, however, only fixed the return type
and not the type of the mode variable.

Could you consider applying this patch one on top of Dan's (which you
applied to mfd-next on Monday)?

Thanks,
Johan
