The request_t 'handle' member is 32-bits wide, hence use wrt_reg_dword(). Change the cast in the wrt_reg_byte() call to make it clear that a regular pointer is casted to an __iomem pointer. Note: 'pkt' points to I/O memory for the qlafx00 adapter family and to coherent memory for all other adapter families. This patch fixes the following Coverity complaint: CID 358864 (#1 of 1): Reliance on integer endianness (INCOMPATIBLE_CAST) incompatible_cast: Pointer &pkt->handle points to an object whose effective type is unsigned int (32 bits, unsigned) but is dereferenced as a narrower unsigned short (16 bits, unsigned). This may lead to unexpected results depending on machine endianness.
