Store return value of of_get_property() to a pointer of __be32 type as device tree has big endian type. This fixes a sparse warning couple of lines later when be32_to_cpup() is used to convert from big endian to cpu endian. The whole conversion is not really necessary, as we are only checking if the value is zero or not, but I wanted to add it to remind in the future that the data has to be converted before use. Compiler should optimize the unnecessary operations away. Signed-off-by: Jyri Sarha <jsarha@xxxxxx> --- Damn, I wrote description ready but forgot to produce the patch again.
