ALSA: seq: fix function cast warnings
[ Upstream commit d7bf73809849463f76de42aad62c850305dd6c5d ]
clang-16 points out a control flow integrity (kcfi) issue when event
callbacks get converted to incompatible types:
sound/core/seq/seq_midi.c:135:30: error: cast from 'int (*)(struct snd_rawmidi_substream *, const char *, int)' to 'snd_seq_dump_func_t' (aka 'int (*)(void *, void *, int)') converts to incompatible function type [-Werror,-Wcast-function-type-strict]
135 | snd_seq_dump_var_event(ev, (snd_seq_dump_func_t)dump_midi, substream);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sound/core/seq/seq_virmidi.c:83:31: error: cast from 'int (*)(struct snd_rawmidi_substream *, const unsigned char *, int)' to 'snd_seq_dump_func_t' (aka 'int (*)(void *, void *, int)') converts to incompatible function type [-Werror,-Wcast-function-type-strict]
83 | snd_seq_dump_var_event(ev, (snd_seq_dump_func_t)snd_rawmidi_receive, vmidi->substream);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For addressing those errors, introduce wrapper functions that are used
for callbacks and bridge to the actual function call with pointer
cast.
The code was originally added with the initial ALSA merge in linux-2.5.4.
