Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mlx5: Fix type of mode parameter in
 mlx5_dpll_device_mode_get()

When building with -Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict, a
warning designed to catch potential kCFI failures at build time rather
than run time due to incorrect function pointer types, there is a
warning due to a mismatch between the type of the mode parameter in
mlx5_dpll_device_mode_get() vs. what the function pointer prototype for
->mode_get() in 'struct dpll_device_ops' expects.

  drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/dpll.c:141:14: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'int (*)(const struct dpll_device *, void *, enum dpll_mode *, struct netlink_ext_ack *)' with an expression of type 'int (const struct dpll_device *, void *, u32 *, struct netlink_ext_ack *)' (aka 'int (const struct dpll_device *, void *, unsigned int *, struct netlink_ext_ack *)') [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
    141 |         .mode_get = mlx5_dpll_device_mode_get,
        |                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  1 error generated.

Change the type of the mode parameter in mlx5_dpll_device_mode_get() to
clear up the warning and avoid kCFI failures at run time.
