3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> commit 065bd8c28ba37d04c9a5b732173c1508954b1f58 upstream. The mlx5 driver passes a string pointer in through a 'u64' variable, which on 32-bit machines causes a build warning: drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/debugfs.c: In function 'qp_read_field': drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/debugfs.c:303:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast] The code is in fact safe, so we can shut up the warning by adding extra type casts.
