[PATCH] staging: fbtft: diferenciate between buffer and data types to fix sparse warning

From: Alfonso Lima Astor
Date: Wed Sep 27 2017 - 13:16:36 EST


sparse was complaning about an incorrect type cast:
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: expected unsigned short [unsigned] [short] [usertype] <noident>
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: got restricted __be16 [usertype] <noident>
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: expected unsigned short [unsigned] [short] [usertype] <noident>
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: got restricted __be16 [usertype] <noident>

The solution is to add an extra parameter to the macro to
diferenciate between buffer type and data type.
