After merging the driver-core tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) produced this warning:

drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t94.c: In function 'm41t94_remove':
drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t94.c:139: warning: passing argument 1 of 'platform_get_drvdata' from incompatible pointer type
include/linux/platform_device.h:133: note: expected 'const struct platform_device *' but argument is of type 'struct spi_device *'

Revealed by commit 71d642908d4e8e7a2a4a6e0490432e719ff466d5 ("Driver
core: convert platform_{get,set}_drvdata to static inline functions").
The warning is in code introduced by commit
8fc2c767b06067b417c565c4e75731e68ed41fd8 ("rtc: add support for ST M41T94
SPI RTC").

There are also:

drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1390.c:161: warning: passing argument 1 of 'platform_get_drvdata' from incompatible pointer type

Introduced in commit 06de18085122b873012cb23f043e2bdcf5f50923 ("rtc: add
Dallas DS1390/93/94 RTC chips").

drivers/rtc/rtc-ds3234.c: In function 'ds3234_remove':
drivers/rtc/rtc-ds3234.c:161: warning: passing argument 1 of 'platform_get_drvdata' from incompatible pointer type

Introduced in commit 2f9b75e09ec3f62f2ebecec0ac9aec58656c2459 ("rtc: add
device driver for Dallas DS3234 SPI RTC chip").

Wow, all of these are driver errors, it's amazing it was all working
properly before.  It's not the core's fault here, so there's nothing I
can do in my tree :(

thanks,
