sparse reported dgap_do_fep_load is redeclared with different type. while fixing, I noticed __user attribute is used incorrectly in declaration. There is no need to define __user for firware->data. Replaced the __user with 'const uchar *' from function dgap_do_fep_load and did the same for function dgap_do_bios_load.
