Hi, I think you missed one case: if (mdio_id == XGENE_MDIO_RGMII) { mdio_bus->read = xgene_mdio_rgmii_read; mdio_bus->write = xgene_mdio_rgmii_write; mdio_bus->priv = (void __force *)pdata; This cast using __force is also not required.

Given that in this case, bus->priv is initialised via: mdio_bus->priv = (void __force *)pdata->mdio_csr_addr; I think the simple thing is to _always_ initialise mdio_bus->priv to point at pdata, and have xgene_xfi_mdio_*() always do: struct xgene_mdio_pdata *pdata = bus->priv; void __iomem *addr = pdata->mdio_csr_addr; The extra access will be dwarfed by the time taken to perform the access. This change should be made with a separate patch and not combined with the patch removing the casts in xgene_mdio_rgmii_*().
