compat_ptr is already a typecast.
static inline void __user *compat_ptr(compat_uptr_t uptr)
{
	return (void __user *)(unsigned long)uptr;
}

so you are adding another typecast to an already exitsing typecast. :(

and besides, this also introduces one new checkpatch warning of
line more than 80 char.
