[PATCH 3.4 39/45] 8250_pci: fix warnings in backport of Broadcom TruManage support

[Zefan Li]

From: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.4.104-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

commit 7400ce7ee9595432b2a1402b6ffcac9faf38d9ae (v3.4.92-76-g7400ce7ee959)
was a backport of commit ebebd49a8eab5e9aa1b1f8f1614ccc3c2120f886 upstream
("8250/16?50: Add support for Broadcom TruManage redirected serial port")

However, in the context of 3.4.x kernels, the pci setup code was
expecting a struct uart_port and not a struct uart_8250_port, leading to
the following concerning warnings:

drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c: In function âpci_brcm_trumanage_setupâ:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1086:2: warning: passing argument 3 of âpci_default_setupâ from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
  int ret = pci_default_setup(priv, board, port, idx);
  ^
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1036:1: note: expected âstruct uart_port *â but argument is of type âstruct uart_8250_port *â
 pci_default_setup(struct serial_private *priv,
 ^
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c: At top level:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1746:3: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
   .setup  = pci_brcm_trumanage_setup,
   ^
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1746:3: warning: (near initialization for âpci_serial_quirks[56].setupâ) [enabled by default]

I'd also expect the initialization to not function correctly, and
perhaps dereference random garbage due to this.  Since the uart_port
is a field within the uart_8250_port, the adaptation to fix these
warnings is a straightforward removal of a layer of indirection.
