We should always type-cast pointer to "long" or "unsigned long"
because size of pointer is same as machine word size. This will
avoid pointer type-cast issues on both 32bit and 64bit systems.

This patch fixes pointer type-cast issue in brcmnand_write()
as-per above info.

Correct me if I remember it wrong, but I thought this patch has already
been merged by Brian?

Thanks,

Ray

You are correct.

Anup,

Please base MTD patches on the MTD development tree (i.e., l2-mtd.git):

http://linux-mtd.infradead.org/source.html

(In this case it's no problem; I'll just ignore the first two patches.)

Brian

Yes, patch1 and patch2 were merged by Brian. I realized this after I had
send-out v2. Anyways we can ignore patch1 and patch2 from this patchset
because they are same as v1.
