Subject: [PATCH 6/6] staging: i4l: icn: fix incorrect type of arguments

sparse was warning about incorrect type of argument:

drivers/staging/i4l/icn/icn.c:1048:49:
warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
drivers/staging/i4l/icn/icn.c:1048:49:
expected void const [noderef] <asn:1>*from
drivers/staging/i4l/icn/icn.c:1048:49:
got unsigned char const [usertype] *buf
drivers/staging/i4l/icn/icn.c:1476:38:
warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
drivers/staging/i4l/icn/icn.c:1476:38:
expected unsigned char const [usertype] *buf
drivers/staging/i4l/icn/icn.c:1476:38:
got unsigned char const [noderef] [usertype] <asn:1>*buf

The function icn_writecmd() was used to copy from userspace and also
from the kernelspace. Add another argument to the function to have two
separate pointers, one for the userspace and one for the kernelspace.
Based on the value of user as passed from the caller we use one of
the two pointers.
