Looking at the function definition now, I do see that the function returns a struct pointer but for me the compiler still complains about an implicit conversion from int to struct pointer.

Is there any particular reason why this might be happening? I couldn't quite figure it out myself as I am very new to working with the kernel.

What compiler version and architecture? Are you compiling using flags like W=1? I would advise you to always add more information about how the problem manifests, and what you are executing. This can help to nail down the issue quicker.

Thanks, Marcos
