hi, Ralf
there are lots of warnings about the macro: clear_user in linux-mips.
in linux-2.6.29.3, it will come with errors, so, must be fixed.
the type of the second argument of access_ok should be void __user *,
but there is an un-needed (unsigned long) conversion before __cl_addr,
so remove the (unsigned long) will fix this problem.
best regards,
Wu Zhangjin
