In LPFC_MBOXQ_t, the ctx_buf ptr shouldn't be defined as a generic void *ptr. It is named ctx_buf and it should only be used as an lpfc_dmabuf *ptr. Due to the void* declaration, there have been abuses of ctx_buf for things not related to lpfc_dmabuf. So, set the ptr type for *ctx_buf as lpfc_dmabuf. Remove all type casts on ctx_buf because it is no longer a void *ptr. Convert the abuse of ctx_buf for something not related to lpfc_dmabuf to use the void *context3 ptr. A particular abuse of the ctx_buf warranted a new void *ext_buf ptr. However, the usage of this new void *ext_buf is not generic. It is intended to only hold virtual addresses for extended mailbox commands.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
