14 errors in total, one set per offending member.
off_ana_lane, off_dig_lane and driving_params are declared as arrays in
struct mtk_dp_phy_pdata:
u16 off_ana_lane[MTK_DP_PHY_MAX_LANES];
u16 off_dig_lane[MTK_DP_PHY_MAX_LANES];
u32 driving_params[PHYD_DIG_NUM_DRV_PARA_REGS];
but the SoC data instances initialize them with compound literals. A
compound literal is an object, not an initializer list, so this is not
an array initializer: the member is initialized element-wise from a
scalar, the first element gets the address of the literal truncated to
u16/u32, and the remaining elements are zeroed. Hence the three
diagnostics above - the pointer-to-integer conversion, the address not
being a compile-time constant, and the missing braces.
Arrays are the right type here, since both members are indexed per lane
and driving_params is sized with ARRAY_SIZE(), so drop the casts and use
plain braced initializers.
