From: Arnd Bergmann arnd@arndb.de

commit 48d83282db077f93b2cf40de120f4d6f29eb293b upstream.

A regression fix introduced a harmless type mismatch warning:

drivers/scsi/bfa/bfad_bsg.c: In function 'bfad_im_bsg_vendor_request': drivers/scsi/bfa/bfad_bsg.c:3137:35: error: initialization of 'struct bfad_im_port_s *' from 'long unsigned int' makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Werror=int-conversion] struct bfad_im_port_s *im_port = shost->hostdata[0]; ^~~~~ drivers/scsi/bfa/bfad_bsg.c: In function 'bfad_im_bsg_els_ct_request': drivers/scsi/bfa/bfad_bsg.c:3353:35: error: initialization of 'struct bfad_im_port_s *' from 'long unsigned int' makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Werror=int-conversion] struct bfad_im_port_s *im_port = shost->hostdata[0];

This changes the code back to shost_priv() once more, but encapsulates it in an inline function to document the rather unusual way of using the private data only as a pointer to the previously allocated structure.

I did not try to get rid of the extra indirection level entirely, which would have been rather invasive and required reworking the entire initialization sequence.
