[PATCH v3] net: bluetooth: hci_sock: Use 'const u32 *' instead of 'void *' for 2nd parameter of hci_test_bit()

From: Chen Gang S
Date: Sat Feb 07 2015 - 08:17:59 EST


hci_test_bit() does not modify 2nd parameter, so it is better to let it
be constant, or may cause build warning. The related warning (with
allmodconfig under xtensa):

net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c: In function 'hci_sock_sendmsg':
net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c:955:8: warning: passing argument 2 of 'hci_test_bit' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-array-qualifiers]
&hci_sec_filter.ocf_mask[ogf])) &&
^
net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c:49:19: note: expected 'void *' but argument is of type 'const __u32 (*)[4] {aka const unsigned int (*)[4]}'
static inline int hci_test_bit(int nr, void *addr)
^

hci_test_bit() always treats 2nd parameter is u32, and all callers also
know about it, so 2nd parameter of hci_test_bit() need use 'const u32 *'
instead of 'void *'.

C language treats the array function parameter as a pointer, so the
caller need not use '&' for the 2 demotion array, or it reports warning:
'const unsigned int (*)[4]' is different with 'const unsigned int *'.
