p.s.

I just went to patchwork to drop this patch from the queue:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/projecat/platform-driver-x86/list/

But it never got added there because [email protected]
was missing from the Cc even though get_maintainer.pl lists it.

Regards,

Hans

Thanks for taking a careful look. After a little experimentation I managed to
come up with a different workaround that avoids the cast.

I checked this as well now: the entries for the various surface drivers all
contain a reference to [email protected], but (at least
in v5.13-rc1) the entry for that subsystem that lists the include file
does not list this email.

Sending v2 to the list now.

Right, I must have forgotten to add that, sorry. I'll send in a patch to
fix that in a second.
