Without this patch we have

drivers/auxdisplay/charlcd.c:482:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
drivers/auxdisplay/charlcd.c:482:21:    expected char const [noderef] __user *__ptr_clean
drivers/auxdisplay/charlcd.c:482:21:    got char const *

So,

Tested-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

Can we have this series applied, please?
