The following commit has been merged in the master branch: commit 61a292860de6ab66c9b6aa1b244ccd4590ddc8ec Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Thu Nov 28 11:26:06 2019 +0100
batman-adv: Annotate bitwise integer pointer casts
The sparse commit 6002ded74587 ("add a flag to warn on casts to/from bitwise pointers") introduced a check for non-direct casts from/to restricted datatypes (when -Wbitwise-pointer is enabled).
This triggered various warnings in batman-adv when some (already big endian) buffer content was casted to/from the corresponding big endian integer data types. But these were correct and can therefore be marked with __force to signalize sparse an intended cast from/to a bitwise type.
