[PATCH] seq_buf: avoid type mismatch for seq_buf_init
From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Oct 26 2020 - 12:12:50 EST
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
Building with W=2 prints a number of warnings for one function that
has a pointer type mismatch:
linux/seq_buf.h: In function 'seq_buf_init':
linux/seq_buf.h:35:12: warning: pointer targets in assignment from 'unsigned char *' to 'char *' differ in signedness [-Wpointer-sign]
Change the type in the function prototype according to the type in
the structure.
Fixes: 9a7777935c34 ("tracing: Convert seq_buf fields to be like seq_file fields")
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
