drivers/video/fbdev/vt8623fb.c: In function ‘vt8623_pci_probe’:

  par->state.vgabase = (void __iomem *) vga_res.start;

This does look quite ugly... Where does the warning come from in the
first place. Isn't vga_res.start (resource_size_t) the size of a pointer?
Yes looks ugly, I am not sure what you meant from 'where does this warning
come from' its in the commit message.
I meant why is there a warning at all. With a quick glance,
vga_res.start is the size of a pointer. So the sizes of the integer and
the pointer should be the same. But the warning still says "of different
size".
poking my nose into your discussion.
I tried to see the warning, and I re-compiled like make W=1 M=drivers/video/fbdev/ (before that make clean M=drivers/video/fbdev was done)
I can see warning with many other files, but drivers/video/fbdev/vt8623fb.o was quiet and there was no warning.
I tested with next 141203.
did i miss something in checking the warning ?

thanks
