From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> clang warns about explicitly casting between incompatible function pointers: drivers/tty/hvc/hvc_iucv.c:1100:23: error: cast from 'void (*)(const void *)' to 'void (*)(struct device *)' converts to incompatible function type [-Werror,-Wcast-function-type-strict] 1100 | priv->dev->release = (void (*)(struct device *)) kfree; | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Add a separate function to handle this correctly.
