Subject: [PATCH] staging: vt6655: preserve address space by not casting
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2014 12:11:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1402654311-22053-1-git-send-email-martink@posteo.de> (raw)

Fix the sparse error: cast removes address space of expression.

Is that even correct? I haven't signed-off on it yet.
ethtool_ioctl() takes a (void *) as user data, dereferenced and assigend to u32.
