This seems a little ugly on both ends: we have to cast the enum to
(int *) in the of_device_id table:
static const struct of_device_id iproc_pcie_of_match_table[] = {
{
.compatible = "brcm,iproc-pcie",
.data = (int *)IPROC_PCIE_PAXB,
},
and then we have to cast it back to the the enum type here, and we
can't even use the actual enum type:
pcie->type = (uintptr_t) of_device_get_match_data(dev);
I think this would be nicer if we made a struct iproc_pcie_of_data
along the lines of ks_pcie_of_data and put the enum values in
instances of that struct.
It's definitely a little more code and space, but it might also help
us get rid of some of the "switch (pcie->type)" stuff scattered around
this driver.
