When accessing I/O memory, we should pass '__iomem *' type instead of
'void *' simply, otherwise sparse tests will complain. After applied
this patch, the following two sparse warnings got fixed.
1) drivers/gpu/drm/loongson/lsdc_benchmark.c:27:35:
sparse: expected void volatile [noderef] __iomem *
sparse: got void *kptr
2) drivers/gpu/drm/loongson/lsdc_benchmark.c:42:51:
sparse: expected void const volatile [noderef] __iomem *
sparse: got void *kptr

Usually the commit message should explain why it's okay to cast away the
warning.
Because realistically this doesn't "fix" the warning, this merely hides
it.

If this is I/O memory, better add the __iomem qualifier to dst_bo->kptr
rather than casting here. If if can be both, you could use an unnamed
union like this:
struct lscd_bo {
union {
void __iomem *kptr_iomem;
void *kptr;
};
};
Best regards

My understanding is that a point itself is just a variable where store a
address,
if this address originally point to I/O memory,
then, we can other cast it to u64 type, then cast it back to '__iomem *'
again.
as long as the type's bit-width is width enough to store this address,
we won't lost the information.
'void *' or 'u64' is just a intermediate represent of the address.
we can other cast it to u64 type, then cast it back to 'void __iomem *'
or 'void *' again.
Why it's okay ? My answer is that
As long as a address is really point to the I/O memory, cast it to 'void
__iomem *' is OK.
As long as a address is really point to the system memory, cast it to
'void *' is OK.

The reason why we don't fix this at the very beginning is that
we are following the ttm_kmap_obj_virtual() and the ttm_bo_kmap() function.
Our lsdc_bo_kmap() is implemented with the ttm_bo_kmap() function.
Another reason is that this warning don't emerge when compile with W=1,
at least this is true on our platform.
We don't think this warning is harmful, because implicit cast will do
the cast for us.
It is just that we need eliminate the noise as a programmer.
Again, for the code at here, before you do the de-reference operation,
As long as a address is really(originally) point to the I/O memory, cast
it to 'void __iomem *' is OK.
As long as a address is really(originally) point to the system memory,
cast it to 'void *' is OK.

The point of __iomem is to have sparse help you in tracking that, so you
don't accidentally mix up the two.
