Having a function that takes a variable number of unpacked bytes which it generically calls an "int" is confusing and makes auditing patches next to impossible. We only use spi_send_int with the int sizes of 32 and 64 bits. So just make the spi_send_int function less generic and replace it with the appropriate two explicit functions, which can now type-check the int pointer type. Note that there is still a small weirdness in the u32 function, which has to convert it to a u64 temporary. This is because of how the packing API works at the moment, but the weirdness is at least hidden from callers of sja1105_xfer_u32 now. Suggested-by: David S.

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.
