Sparse has warned us about wrong address space for user pointers: i2c-dev.c:561:50: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) i2c-dev.c:561:50: expected unsigned char [usertype] *buf i2c-dev.c:561:50: got void [noderef] __user * Force cast the pointer to (__u8 *) that is used by I²C core code. Note, this is an additional fix to the previously addressed similar issue in the I2C_RDWR case in the same function.
