the prototype is:
void cfg80211_ready_on_channel(struct net_device *dev, u64 cookie,
struct ieee80211_channel *chan,
enum nl80211_channel_type channel_type,
unsigned int duration, gfp_t gfp);
And in the case in point, "wk" is a pointer, so casting that to a u32
would be even worse on a 64bit architecture.
