Ick, no, really?

That's horrid. Do the __force cast as that is what you are really doing
here, and it is good to see the bad use of it (hint, perhaps the api
needs to be fixed up so you do not have to do that???)

Make the read call take a __iomem *, not a random void *. That should
solve this issue, right?

thanks,
