Subject: [PATCH 3.16 181/346] ipv6: suppress sparse warnings in
 IP6_ECN_set_ce()

3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit c15c0ab12fd62f2b19181d05c62d24bc9fa55a42 upstream.

Pass the correct type __wsum to csum_sub() and csum_add(). This doesn't
really change anything since __wsum really *is* __be32, but removes the
address space warnings from sparse.
