    driver core: Cast to (void *) with __force for __percpu pointer
    
    [ Upstream commit d7aa44f5a1f86cb40659eef06035d8d92604b9d5 ]
    
    Sparse is not happy:
    
      drivers/base/devres.c:1230:9: warning: cast removes address space '__percpu' of expression
    
    Use __force attribute to make it happy.
