I get sparse complaining about this declaration. For the sake of keeping
a clean static checks, can you please:
- void * __iomem base = tegra->regs + sensor->base;
+ void __iomem * base = tegra->regs + sensor->base;


Sure.


Can you also please check the remaining sparse errors?

Most of these seem to be caused by the above-mentioned swapping of __iomem and *. The ones on lines 347 and 349 are more peculiar, though. Apparently sparse doesn't like using IS_ERR and PTR_ERR on the void __iomem * pointer returned by devm_ioremap_resource. Looks like this has been discussed before (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/17/216) and sparse should have been patched to ignore this situation, so I'm not sure why it's complaining about it. Anyway, there shouldn't be any issue here.
