[PATCH] dmaengine: fsl_raid: fix sparse warnings

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Wed Aug 19 2026 - 20:28:26 EST


The register maps in fsl_raid.h annotate every field as __be32, but
they are accessed only through ioread32be()/iowrite32be(), which
already perform the byte swap and take plain u32 __iomem pointers.
The __be32 annotation therefore makes sparse reject each access:

drivers/dma/fsl_raid.c:116:17: sparse: incorrect type in argument 1
(different base types) ... got restricted __be32 [noderef] __iomem *

Drop __be32 from struct fsl_re_ctrl and struct fsl_re_chan_cfg; the
descriptor/CDB structures written via cpu_to_be32() keep their
annotations.

Also fix the remaining sparse warnings in fsl_raid.c:

- compare the desc pointer with !desc instead of desc <= 0 in the
three prep functions,
- byte swap cdb32 with cpu_to_be32() when programming the XOR, PQ
and MOVE command descriptor blocks; the plain u32 assignment is
broken on little-endian hosts.

No warnings remain.
