Hi Sai,

I think it would be good to address each set of errors in separate patches.
And in each case include a report of the errors the tools reported.

And I think that the subject(s) could be tightened up a bit.
E.g.:

Subject: octeontx2-af: correct __iomem annotations

Sparse flags a number of inconsistent usage of __iomem annotations:

Further to my point above, I am unsure what problem this is addressing.

I think that in the light of Linus's feedback and the subsequent patch
that demoted -Wenum-enum-conversion from W=1 to W=1 this is not necessary.

I am concerned that this and similar changes in this patch are masking
problems. In my view __iomem annotations are there for a reason, to help
use the correct access mechanism for iomem. So my question is why is that
not the case for fwdata?

Similarly for other cases in this patch where __iomem is cast or cast-away.
