PATCH v2 1/1 crypto: cavium/nitrox - don't cast parameter in bit operations

While in this particular case it would not be a (critical) issue, the pattern itself is bad and error prone in case the location of the parameter is changed.

Don't cast parameter to unsigned long pointer in the bit operations. Instead copy to a local variable on stack of a proper type and use.

Fixes cf718eaa8f9b ("crypto: cavium/nitrox - Enabled Mailbox support")

v2: fixed typo (LKP, Herbert)

Don't cast parameter to unsigned long pointer in the bit operations. Instead copy to a local variable on stack of a proper type and use.

Is this fix already applied?
