Subject: Re: [PATCH -next] qlcnic: fix compiler warning
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 16:21:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140114152127.GA13575@reykholt.kaiser.cx> (raw)

re-sent as requested by David M.
(I understand the concerns about portability that were raised. At the moment, I don't have a possiblity to do
further rework and testing)

Add an explicit cast to fix the following warning
(seen on Debian Wheezy, gcc 4.7.2)

CC [M]  drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192ce/trx.o
    drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlcnic/qlcnic_io.c: In function ‘qlcnic_send_filter’:
