It's not visible in the diff, but the rest of the function is:
tmp = ppc_inst_read(value);
return location + ppc_inst_len(tmp);
}
And so changing the type of location from void * to int * changes the
result of that addition, ie. previously it was in units of bytes, now
it's units of 4 bytes.
To fix it I've kept location as unsigned int *, and added a cast where
we do the addition. That way users of the function just see unsigned int *,
the cast to void * is an implementation detail.
We only have a handful of uses of ppc_inst_len(), so maybe that should
change name and return a result in units of int *. But that can be a
separate change.

There was another usage in here:
/* Setup fake reset vector to call __secondary_start_mpc86xx. */
target = (unsigned long) __secondary_start_mpc86xx;
- patch_branch((struct ppc_inst *)vector, target, BRANCH_SET_LINK);
+ patch_branch(vector, target, BRANCH_SET_LINK);
/* Kick that CPU */
smp_86xx_release_core(nr);
I fixed it up.
cheers
