Thanks for testing! > I am getting a bunch of new warnings with this patchset, typically of the form: /home/hpa/kernel/distwork/drivers/video/arkfb.c:1019:23: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast] par->state.vgabase = (void __iomem *) vga_res.start; ^ /home/hpa/kernel/distwork/drivers/video/s3fb.c: In function ‘s3_pci_probe’: /home/hpa/kernel/distwork/drivers/video/s3fb.c:1186:23: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast] par->state.vgabase = (void __iomem *) vga_res.start; ^ I have pushed it out to a topic branch in the tip tree, partly to give Fengguang's build bot a run at it (it is excellent at spotting the origin of new warnings), but this needs to be fixed; we will not merge this branch in its current form. -hpa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
