Subject: [PATCH] staging: vchiq_arm: cast with __force as needed
Date: Mon, 18 May 2020 20:45:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200519004531.33158-1-tasman@leaflabs.com> (raw)
In several cases where a pointer marked as __user is
(intentionally) assigned or passed to a non-marked target,
cast to the target pointer type with a __force directive
to quiet warnings from sparse.
Signed-off-by: Mitchell Tasman <tasman@leaflabs.com>
