This patch adds build warnings to the tree, which isn't ok.  Change the
variable type and then fix up the places it is used in the same patch.
Right now you have a bunch more "warning: assignment from incompatible
pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]" added, which isn't ok.

Each patch in a series should do one logical thing, and never add more
build warnings to the build.  Please rework this series to do this
correctly.

thanks,
