As the function name already indicates that get_opt_bool() parses
for a bool. It is not a surprise that compiler is complaining
about it when -Werror=incompatible-pointer-types is used:

drivers/video/fbdev/intelfb/intelfbdrv.c: In function ‘intelfb_setup’:
drivers/video/fbdev/intelfb/intelfbdrv.c:353:39: error: passing argument 3 of ‘get_opt_bool’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
   if (get_opt_bool(this_opt, "accel", &accel))

[resend because Maik's emial address bounced last try]

Hi,

In the 'simple wait queue support' series is a patch
which turns on -Werror=incompatible-pointer-types which will
result in a compile error for intelfb.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/28/462

Even if that patch wont make it, this one makes sense (at least
for me :))

I'll prepend this patch to the next version of the series in order
to see if I got rid of all incompatible pointer types errors caught
by the kbuild test robot.

cheers,
daniel

The patch looks good to me, but I didn't quite catch the above. So do
you want me to apply this to fbdev tree, or do you need to take this via
some other tree? If the latter, you have my ack.

I don't have any preference on the routing. So if you take it via fbdev
that would be nice. One thing less to care about :)

thanks,
