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.

If I apply the change suggested by Eduardo above then all of the above
warnings go away for me. That's with sparse 0.5.0. According to the
email thread above a patch for this was applied in 0.4.5.

Ah, good. I didn't actually run sparse, just checked by eye. Maybe I should have run it.
