From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d9a9280a0d0ae51dc1d4142138b99242b7ec8ac6 ] Building with W=2 prints a number of warnings for one function that has a pointer type mismatch: linux/seq_buf.h: In function 'seq_buf_init': linux/seq_buf.h:35:12: warning: pointer targets in assignment from 'unsigned char *' to 'char *' differ in signedness [-Wpointer-sign] Change the type in the function prototype according to the type in the structure.
