If you fix the issue, kindly add following tag where applicable
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
sparse warnings: (new ones prefixed by >>)
drivers/hwmon/tps23861.c:159:19: sparse: sparse: cast to restricted __le16
drivers/hwmon/tps23861.c:184:19: sparse: sparse: cast to restricted __le16
I'm sorry about this. These warnings caught me by surprise. I checked that changing the type from "uint16_t" to "__le16" silences sparse. It
feels like a false positive. Should I worry about this?
It is not a false positive. Those warnings and variable types exist for a reason.
No worries, though, I already fixed it up.
