Sent: 12 May 2023 11:25 Cast I/O offsets to pointers to use them with I/O functions. The I/O functions expect pointers of type 'volatile void __iomem *', but the offsets are plain integers. Build warnings are ../drivers/video/fbdev/hitfb.c: In function 'hitfb_accel_wait': ../arch/x86/include/asm/hd64461.h:18:33: warning: passing argument 1 of 'fb_readw' makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion] 18 | #define HD64461_IO_OFFSET(x) (HD64461_IOBASE + (x)) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

52 | static inline u16 fb_readw(const volatile void __iomem *addr) | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~ This patch only fixes the build warnings. It's not clear if the I/O offsets can legally be passed to the I/O helpers. It was apparently broken in 2007 when custom inw()/outw() helpers got removed by commit 34a780a0afeb ("sh: hp6xx pata_platform support."). Fixing the driver would require setting the I/O base address.
Did you try changing the definition of HD64461_IOBASE to include a (volatile void __iomem *) cast? A lot less churn... I'm guessing that 'sh' deosn't have in/out instructions so this is something that is always mapped at a fixed kernel virtual address?
