[PATCH] ARM/smp_twd: Cleanup the unnecessary cast

From: Tang Bin <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-11 13:15:06

It's not necessary to specify 'int' castingfor 'PTR_ERR(twd_clk)'.

Sorry, NAK.

This change _will_ produce a compiler warning. "%d" expects an argument
of type "int", but PTR_ERR() returns a type of "long". Sorry, but the
cast is entirely necessary.

A better solution today would be to get rid of the PTR_ERR() entirely
and use %pe, which will get us a textual description of the error when
the appropriate kernel configuration option is enabled.

Thanks.
