For reference, do you have the warning for this case to hand?

In __put_user_err() we make __pu_val the same type as *ptr, then we
switch on sizeof(*ptr), and pass __pu_val to __put_user_asm(), as x.
For cases 1, 2, and 4, we use "%w" as the register template.

So I can't see why we'd  need this cast in __put_user_err().

I must be missing something.

Thanks,
Mark.
