commit 206fc20598157ce15597822cf01b94377e30075b upstream.

As the function name already indicates that get_opt_bool() parses for a bool. It is not a surprise that compiler is complaining about it when -Werror=incompatible-pointer-types is used:

drivers/video/fbdev/intelfb/intelfbdrv.c: In function ‘intelfb_setup’:
drivers/video/fbdev/intelfb/intelfbdrv.c:353:39: error: passing argument 3 of ‘get_opt_bool’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
if (get_opt_bool(this_opt, "accel", &accel))
