Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: gdm72xx: add userspace data struct
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 10:25:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449825913-4604-1-git-send-email-nauxuron@wimdewith.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20151211001720.2332a513@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>

This fixes the sparse warnings about dereferencing a userspace pointer.

Once I updated the sparse annotations, I noticed a bug in
gdm_wimax_ioctl() where we pass a user space pointer to gdm_update_fsm()
which dereferences it. I fixed this.
