And you don't get a warning for spi_davinci_probe() doing

    int ret;

    ret = spi_davinci_get_pdata(pdev, dspi);

?

spi_davinci_get_pdata() returns int if CONFIG_OF, else a pointer.
I guess it always should return int instead.

It's been like this since the function was introduced, in commit
aae7147dfc522062 ("spi/davinci: add OF support for the spi controller").
