As of commit be45beb2df69 ("genirq: Add runtime power management support for IRQ chips") the irq_chip struct got a struct *device parent_device field added to it. However, it was added at the beginning of the struct, which previously was the "name" entry. The driver here was using a mix of ordered struct init entries and named init entries. It was supplying the name assuming it was the 1st in the order, and hence when that became a struct *device we get: arch/mips/lantiq/irq.c:209:2: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default] arch/mips/lantiq/irq.c:209:2: warning: (near initialization for 'ltq_irq_type.parent_device') [enabled by default] arch/mips/lantiq/irq.c:219:2: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default] arch/mips/lantiq/irq.c:219:2: warning: (near initialization for 'ltq_eiu_type.parent_device') [enabled by default] While not runtime tested, I can't imagine trying to dereference a a struct device field from a char string will end well. Here we've used named element init entries for the name string as well to fix it.
