Re: [PATCH v4 2/4] mfd: Support ROHM BD9576MUF and BD9573MUF

["Vaittinen, Matti" <Matti.Vaittinen@fi.rohmeurope.com>]

Morning Lee,

Thanks for taking a look at this :) I see most of the comments being
valid. There's two I would like to clarify though...

I didn't do so because on x86_64 the address width is probably 64 bits
whereas the unsigned int is likely to be 32 bits. So the assignment
will crop half of the value. It does not really matter as values are
small - but I would be surprized if no compilers/analyzers emitted a
warning.

I must admit I am not 100% sure though. I sure can change this if you
know it better?

On some systems at least the gcc will warn:

to-int-cast]

I am pretty sure I did end up this double casting via trial and error
:)

Braces? I put braces on separate lines on purpose. Been doing this
after we had this discussion:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180706070559.GW496@dell/

;)

I can change it if you wishfeel it is important - not a point I feel
like fighting over ;)
