The old dmascc driver depends on the legacy ISA_DMA_API, and blindly just casts the kernel virtual address to 'int' for set_dma_addr(). That works only incidentally, and because the high bits of the address will be ignored anyway. And on 64-bit architectures it causes warnings. Admittedly, 64-bit architectures with ISA are basically dead - I think the only example of this is alpha, and nobody would ever use the dmascc driver there. But hey, the fix is easy enough, the end result is cleaner, and it's yet another configuration that now builds without warnings. If somebody actually uses this driver on an alpha and this fixes it for you, please email me. Because that is just incredibly bizarre. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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.
