Explicitly casting pci_power_t types to resolve sparse warnings (shown
below).

Also fixing a related logging bug where pci_power_t is cast to unsigned
(can be negative, i.e. PCI_POWER_ERROR).

Original sparse report:

drivers/staging/irda/drivers//vlsi_ir.c:170:51: warning: cast from
restricted pci_power_t
drivers/staging/irda/drivers//vlsi_ir.c:1726:39: warning: restricted
pci_power_t degrades to integer
drivers/staging/irda/drivers//vlsi_ir.c:1728:45: warning: incorrect type
in assignment (different base types)
drivers/staging/irda/drivers//vlsi_ir.c:1728:45:    expected restricted

drivers/staging/irda/drivers//vlsi_ir.c:1728:45:    got int [signed]
[usertype] event
drivers/staging/irda/drivers//vlsi_ir.c:1748:29: warning: incorrect type

pci_power_t [usertype] current_state

Please do not line-wrap lines like this, it makes them harder to
understand.

Duly noted.


Warnings no longer present.

Ick, using __force is almost always a huge sign that something is wrong
here.  This patch does not look correct because of this.

You did read drivers/staging/irda/TODO, right?

thanks,

Good point. This patch can be discarded.
