The Sparse static checker flags a type mismatch warning related to endianness conversion: | warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types) | expected restricted __le32 const [usertype] *p | got unsigned int * This is because an explicit endianness conversion (le32_to_cpu()) was applied unnecessarily to a pcc_hdr.flags field that is already in little-endian format. The PCC driver is only enabled on little-endian kernels due to its dependency on ACPI and EFI, making the explicit conversion unnecessary. The redundant conversion occurs in pcc_chan_check_and_ack() for the pcc_hdr.flags field. Drop this unnecessary endianness conversion of pcc_hdr.flags.
