Calling no_free_ptr() for an __iomem pointer results in Sparse
complaining about the types:
warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
expected void const volatile *val
got void [noderef] __iomem *__val
[ The example is from drivers/platform/x86/intel/pmc/core_ssram.c:283 ]
The problem is caused by the signature of __must_check_fn() added in:
85be6d8424 ("cleanup: Make no_free_ptr() __must_check")
... to enforce that the return value is always used.
Use __force to allow both iomem and non-iomem pointers to be given for
no_free_ptr().

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 reStructuredText 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.
