On Alpha the IO accessors are using plain unsigned types, such as uXX.
But Alpha can be configured to any endianess and implementation of
BE IO accessors, such as iowrite32be(), require endianess conversion.
This conversion, when done via cpu_to*() and *_to_cpu() helpers, uses
bitwise types of which sparse is not happy.
8250_dwlib.c:45:17: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)
8250_dwlib.c:45:17: sparse: expected unsigned int [usertype]
8250_dwlib.c:45:17: sparse: got restricted __be32 [usertype]
One way is to use a lot of ifdeffery to properly use swab*() combination with
writel() or so, another is much simpler, i.e. forcing types, especially taking
into consideration the commit message of the original commit for that API.
