[PATCH 3/5] MIPS: LLVMLinux: Fix an 'inline asm input/output type mismatch' error.

From: Daniel Sanders
Date: Tue Feb 03 2015 - 08:38:01 EST


From: Toma Tabacu <toma.tabacu@xxxxxxxxxx>

Change the type of csum_ipv6_magic's 'proto' argument from unsigned
short to __u32.

This fixes a type mismatch between the 'htonl(proto)' inline asm
input, which is __u32, and the 'proto' output, which is unsigned
short.

This is the error message reported by clang:
arch/mips/include/asm/checksum.h:285:27: error: unsupported inline asm: input with type '__be32' (aka 'unsigned int') matching output with type 'unsigned short'
"0" (htonl(len)), "1" (htonl(proto)), "r" (sum));
^~~~~~~~~~~~

The changed code can be compiled successfully by both gcc and clang.
