When trying to build the rust firmware abstractions on 32 bit arm the following build error occures:
``` error[E0308]: mismatched types --> rust/kernel/firmware.rs:20:14 | 20 | Self(bindings::request_firmware) | ---- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected fn pointer, found fn item | | | arguments to this function are incorrect | = note: expected fn pointer `unsafe extern "C" fn(_, *const i8, _) -> _` found fn item `unsafe extern "C" fn(_, *const u8, _) -> _ {request_firmware}` note: tuple struct defined here --> rust/kernel/firmware.rs:14:8 | 14 | struct FwFunc( | ^^^^^^

error: aborting due to 3 previous errors ```
To fix this error the char pointer type in `FwFunc` is converted to `ffi::c_char`.
