Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2][RFC] mmc: cast unsigned int to typeof(sector_t) to avoid unexpected error

Hi

Sorry, I noticed this explain (= number of 0) was wrong
Maybe it should be

         data = 0x800000;
         sector = (data << 8); // 0xffffffff80000000
         sector = (((typeof(sector_t))data) << 8); // 0x80000000

or

         data = 0x80000000;
         sector = (data << 8); // 0x0
         sector = (((typeof(sector_t))data) << 8); // 0x8000000000
