With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed. A
proposed warning in clang aims to catch these at compile time, which
reveals:

->count_u32_{read,write}() and ->count_u32_{read,write}() in 'struct
counter_comp' expect a final parameter type of either 'u32' or 'u32 *',
not the enumerated types used in the implementations. Adjust the final
parameter type in the implementations to match the prototype's to
resolve the warning and CFI failures.
