nonsense? There are two types of fixes proposed to fix these sparse warnings.
1. with this patch
2. fixing in io.h
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/250171/

1st option is already merged with 2.6.37 merge window.

If 2 get accepted, all __raw_read/write will get replaced with readl/writel.

Apart from those two, do you have any other alternate idea to fix these sparse warnings?
