Agreed. However there are two other sparse warnings in the report:

>>> drivers/irqchip/irq-loongson-htpic.c:80:20: sparse: sparse: symbol 'htpic_syscore_ops' was not declared. Should it be static?  

>     drivers/pci/controller/pci-ftpci100.c:37:9: sparse: sparse: preprocessor token PCI_IOSIZE redefined

>>> arch/mips/include/asm/mach-loongson64/spaces.h:11:9: sparse: this was the original definition  

They are the ones that would have been uncovered by your change. The
dmi_scan one must have existed before already.

Explicit pointer casting is almost always the wrong way to make
warnings go away. I can't confirm because I'm not able to get sparse to
work at the moment, but more likely the correct fix would be something
along the lines of:

(Note sure why there are only 2 sparse warnings when the same issue is
present 3 times in the file.)
