Subject: printk: change type of 'boot_delay' to int *
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxx>
get_option() takes its 2nd arg as int * so passing boot_delay to it
caused following warnings from sparse:
kernel/printk.c:223:27: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness)
kernel/printk.c:223:27: expected int *pint
kernel/printk.c:223:27: got unsigned int static [toplevel] *<noident>
Since boot_delay can't grow more than 10,000 changing it to 'int *'
will not produce any problem.
