Technically to fit the pointer into an integer you should be using uintptr_t or unsigned long. However, gcc does not issue a warning when casting to enum either. The reason might possibly be that when casting to an enum you make it clear that you are expecting one of the values that are part of the enumeration and the value should fit into the enum even if its actual size is char. Either way handling of casts from the match pointer to integer varies between drivers and some that are possibly never built on 64bit even use int. drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/adv7511/adv7511_drv.c: adv7511->type = (enum adv7511_type)of_device_get_match_data(dev); drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-rcar.c: priv->devtype = (enum rcar_i2c_type)of_device_get_match_data(dev); drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb_main.c: chip_id = (enum ravb_chip_id)of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev); drivers/pci/host/pci-imx6.c: (enum imx6_pcie_variants)of_device_get_match_data(dev); drivers/reset/hisilicon/hi6220_reset.c: type = (enum hi6220_reset_ctrl_type)of_device_get_match_data(dev); drivers/usb/phy/phy-msm-usb.c: pdata->phy_type = (enum msm_usb_phy_type)of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev); drivers/firmware/qcom_scm.c: clks = (unsigned long)of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev); drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos5433_drm_decon.c: ctx->out_type = (unsigned long)of_device_get_match_data(dev); drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/pinctrl-sun5i.c: unsigned long variant = (unsigned long)of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev); drivers/spi/spi-sun6i.c: sspi->fifo_depth = (unsigned long)of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev); drivers/thermal/rcar_thermal.c:#define rcar_of_data(dev) ((unsigned long)of_device_get_match_data(dev)) sound/soc/sh/rcar/core.c: priv->flags = (unsigned long)of_device_get_match_data(dev); drivers/spi/spi-mpc512x-psc.c: mps->type = (int)of_device_get_match_data(dev); drivers/leds/leds-pm8058.c: led->ledtype = (u32)of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev); So what is the preferred way to do the cast to be portable across Linux architectures?
