PATCH 1/1 staging/lustre: echo_client.c - fix sparse warning: cast removes address space of expression

The function only cares about the value of the pointer, not the contents of the pointed-to data. Adding a __force annotation to the cast removes this warning.

Hi, List

I don't want to be a bother but should I be doing something different when submitting patches? I know it's minor but it's a simple change and it's received no response after two weeks; not even a rejection.

Cheers
