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.

These probably cause Sparse to warn whether or not the cast is there.

Hi, Russell King,

I didn't notice this Sparse warning.
Should I remove this cast although it cause Sparse warning?

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_*().
yeah, this change is great.
I will send a separate patch as your suggestion If we can ignore Sparse warning.
Thanks for your suggestion!

Thanks.
