When booting a kernel with CONFIG_MISDN_DSP=y and CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y, there is a failure when dsp_cmx_send() is called indirectly from call_timer_fn(): [ 0.371412] CFI failure at call_timer_fn+0x2f/0x150 (target: dsp_cmx_send+0x0/0x530; expected type: 0x92ada1e9) The function pointer prototype that call_timer_fn() expects is void (*fn)(struct timer_list *) whereas dsp_cmx_send() has a parameter type of 'void *', which causes the control flow integrity checks to fail because the parameter types do not match. Change dsp_cmx_send()'s parameter type to be 'struct timer_list' to match the expected prototype. The argument is unused anyways, so this has no functional change, aside from avoiding the CFI failure.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
