#1486168 — [PATCH 0/2] cris: fix a couple of incompatible pointer types

From: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de>

Hi,

I got a love letter from kbuild about incompatible pointer types. I
added the new compiler flag [1] so it seems I am in charge cleaning up.

kbuild tells me:

All errors (new ones prefixed by >>):

#1486169 — [PATCH 2/2] cris: use correct device_init() function signature

From: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de>

The crisv32_intem_init() function doesn't match the necessary callback
function signature. Newer gcc version are checking the pointer types
and through an error if they don't match.

#1486172 — [PATCH 1/2] cris: don't compare incompatible pointer type

From: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de>

intmem_allocaionts is list head. Comparing the list head with prev and
next works so far because the entry was placed at the beginning of
struct intmem_allocation. Let's use list_entry to recover the correct
pointer and which makes this code slightly more robust.

Newer gcc version are checking the pointer types and through an error if
they don't match.

Excellent! As I said, the build robot keeps nagging me about such errors 
and I somehow feel responsible to fix them up. As long as it gets fixed 
I am fine :)

cheers,
