The constant HD64461_IOBASE is defined as integer at

 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/arch/sh/include/asm/hd64461.h#L17

but fb_readw() expects a volatile-void pointer. I guess we could add a 
cast somewhere to silence the problem. In the current upstream code, 
that appears to be done by sh's __raw_readw() internally:
