Yes, it does. In a somewhat less ugly way. This is my current result:
} else {
ulong base;
/* Save base address from device-tree */
/*
* On x86, "fdt_addr_t" is 64bit but "void *" only 32bit.
* So assigning the register base directly in dev_get_addr()
* results in this compilation warning:
* warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
*
* Using an intermediate "ulong" variable before assigning
* this pointer to the "regs" variable solves this issue.
*/
base = dev_get_addr(bus);
priv->regs = (struct i2c_regs *)base;
}
If you think this is acceptable, I'll send a new patch version to
the list.
Thanks,
Stefan
