  get_user() expects the pointer to be pointer-to-simple-variable type,
but sic->data is array of 'unsigned char'. It violates get_user()
contracts.

Cast it explicitly to 'unsigned char __user *'. It matches current
behaviour.

This is preparation for fixing sparse warnings caused by Linear Address
Masking patchset.

What's the side-effect if this isn't applied?  Is it worse than sparse
warnings?

Build will fail if 2/2 applied without this one:

Using &sic->data[0] should work and is much nicer than the cast.

Okay. Fair enough. Adjusted patch is below.

Subject: [PATCHv2 1/2] scsi: Fix get_user() in call sg_scsi_ioctl()

get_user() expects the pointer to be pointer-to-simple-variable type,
but sic->data is array of 'unsigned char'. It violates get_user()
contracts.

Explicitly take pointer to the first element of the array. It matches
current behaviour.

This is preparation for fixing sparse warnings caused by Linear Address
Masking patchset.
