Commit d02f6b7dab82 ("powerpc/uaccess: Evaluate macro arguments once, before user access is allowed") changed the __chk_user_ptr() argument from the passed ptr pointer to the locally declared __gu_addr. But __gu_addr is locally defined as __user so the check is pointless. During kernel build __chk_user_ptr() voids and is only evaluated during sparse checks so it should have been armless to leave the original pointer check there. Nevertheless, this check is indeed redundant with the assignment above which casts the ptr pointer to the local __user __gu_addr. In case of mismatch, sparse will detect it there, so the __check_user_ptr() is not needed anywhere else than in access_ok().
