In an effort to enable -Wcast-function-type in the top-level Makefile to support Control Flow Integrity builds, there are the need to remove all the function callback casts in the acpi driver.
The first patch creates a macro called ACPI_DECLARE_SUBTABLE_PROBE_ENTRY to initialize the acpi_probe_entry struct using the probe_subtbl field instead of the probe_table field to avoid function cast mismatches. The second patch modifies the IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE macro to use the new defined macro ACPI_DECLARE_SUBTABLE_PROBE_ENTRY instead of the macro ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY. Also, modifies the prototype of the functions used by the invocation of the IRQCHIP_ACPI_DECLARE macro to match all the parameters. The third patch removes the function cast in the ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY macro to ensure that the functions passed as a last parameter to this macro have the right prototype. This macro is used only in another macro called "TIMER_ACPI_DECLARE". An this is used only in the file: drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c In this file, the function used in the last parameter of the TIMER_ACPI_DECLARE macro already has the right prototype. So there is no need to modify its prototype.
