Commit 75096579c3ac ("lib: devres: Introduce devm_ioremap_resource()")
introduced devm_ioremap_resource() and encourage to check its return value with
IS_ERR(). This however leads to the following sparse warnings, as
devm_ioremap_resource() returns a void __iomem pointer:
drivers/net/can/c_can/c_can_platform.c:205:32: warning: incorrect type in
argument 1 (different address spaces)
drivers/net/can/c_can/c_can_platform.c:205:32: expected void const *ptr
drivers/net/can/c_can/c_can_platform.c:205:32: got unsigned int [noderef]
[usertype] <asn:2>*raminit_ctrlreg
This patch silences the warning by introducing a macro to force cast the
pointer to a plain const void *.

Hello,
I think this macro is a bit ugly, is there a better way to make sparse happy?
If we agree on a solution other functions in this file have to be wrapped.
regards,
Marc
