Or perhaps something like,
bool acpi_dev_uid_match(struct acpi_device *adev, const void *uid2, enum uid_type type)
{
u64 uid1_d, uid2_d;
if (type == UID_TYPE_STR) {
char *uid2_s = (char *)uid2;
if (!(uid2_s && !kstrtou64(uid2_s, 0, &uid2_d)))
return false;
} else if (type == UID_TYPE_INT) {
u64 *uid2_p;
uid2_p = (u64 *)uid2;
uid2_d = *uid2_p;
} else {
return false;
}
if (!acpi_dev_uid_to_integer(adev, &uid1_d) && uid1_d == uid2_d)
return true;
else
return false;
}
Although this looks unnecessarily hideous.
