regmap lock/unlock original functions just received a struct regmap * .
I needed a void * for the customized version of such functions, so just
replaced struct regmap * with void *
typedef void (*regmap_lock)(void *);
typedef void (*regmap_unlock)(void *);
The cast isn't actually needed (code compiles with no warnings without it).
I could also do something like this, if you think it's better:
typedef void (*regmap_lock)(struct regmap *, void *);
typedef void (*regmap_unlock)(struct regmap *, void *);
and then ignore the second argument in the default version of the functions.
Thanks and regards
Davide
