When compiling NTFS support in 2.5.65 on a big-endian machine (m68k), I get:
| fs/ntfs/compress.c:167: warning: passing arg 1 of `__swab16p' from incompatible pointer type
| fs/ntfs/compress.c:207: warning: passing arg 1 of `__swab16p' from incompatible pointer type
| fs/ntfs/compress.c:228: warning: passing arg 1 of `__swab16p' from incompatible pointer type
| fs/ntfs/compress.c:333: warning: passing arg 1 of `__swab16p' from incompatible pointer type
The offending code does `le16_to_cpup(cb)', with cb a pointer to a u8.

Thanks for letting us know. I have fixed it now (just doing
le16to_cpup((u16*)cb) instead which should fix the warnings. I will submit
to Linus together with other changes later.
Best regards,
