The type of word is basically irrelevant. Unless you're running sparse and actually checking the errors, which it seems you're not doing: drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:90:30: warning: cast removes address space of expression drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:91:23: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:91:23: expected void *<noident> drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:91:23: got void [noderef] <asn:2>*rtce_buf drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:136:17: warning: cast removes address space of expression drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:188:46: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different base types) drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:188:46: expected unsigned long long [unsigned] [usertype] w1 drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:188:46: got restricted __be64 [usertype] <noident> drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:189:31: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different base types) drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:189:31: expected unsigned long long [unsigned] [usertype] w2 drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:189:31: got restricted __be64 [usertype] <noident> drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:215:46: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different base types) drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:215:46: expected unsigned long long [unsigned] [usertype] w1 drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:215:46: got restricted __be64 [usertype] <noident> drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:216:31: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different base types) drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:216:31: expected unsigned long long [unsigned] [usertype] w2 drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:216:31: got restricted __be64 [usertype] <noident> drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:294:30: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:294:30: expected void const *<noident> drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:294:30: got void [noderef] <asn:2>*rtce_buf drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:342:46: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different base types) drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:342:46: expected unsigned long long [unsigned] [usertype] w1 drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:342:46: got restricted __be64 [usertype] <noident> drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:343:31: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different base types) drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:343:31: expected unsigned long long [unsigned] [usertype] w2 drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:343:31: got restricted __be64 [usertype] <noident> drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:494:43: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:494:43: expected void [noderef] <asn:2>*rtce_buf drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:494:43: got void * drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:501:52: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:501:52: expected void *ptr drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:501:52: got void [noderef] <asn:2>*rtce_buf drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:507:46: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:507:46: expected void const *<noident> drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c:507:46: got void [noderef] <asn:2>*rtce_buf What matters is how you actually do the byte swaps. cheers
