These functions require non __bitwise annotated types for both input and output. Changing the endian converters used from ones that operate on __bitwise annotated types, to those that operate on u16/u32, fixes these sparse warnings: CHECK drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:28:24: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different base types) drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:28:24: expected unsigned short drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:28:24: got restricted __le16 [usertype] <noident> drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:30:24: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different base types) drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:30:24: expected unsigned short drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:30:24: got restricted __be16 [usertype] <noident> drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:36:24: warning: cast to restricted __le16 drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:38:24: warning: cast to restricted __be16 drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:44:24: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different base types) drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:44:24: expected unsigned int drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:44:24: got restricted __le32 [usertype] <noident> drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:46:24: warning: incorrect type in return expression (different base types) drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:46:24: expected unsigned int drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:46:24: got restricted __be32 [usertype] <noident> drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:52:24: warning: cast to restricted __le32 drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_endian.c:54:24: warning: cast to restricted __be32 Signed-off-by: Eric S.
