From 21b2f44315d735345f02356239a819debdd89462 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefani Seibold Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:27:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kfifo: fix sparse complaints This patch fix complaints by the sparse tool when using kfifo_put() with non scalar types like structures (i.e. drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c). Casting a pointer to the value and read this pointer instead of directly casting the value will fix this. The generated code is equal.
