Coverity points out (in CID 1508390) that write_bootloader has some dead code, where we assign to 'p' and then in the following line assign to it again. This happened as a result of the refactoring in commit cd5066f8618b.
Fix the dead code by removing the 'void *v' variable entirely and instead adding a cast when calling bl_setup_gt64120_jump_kernel(), as we do at its other callsite in write_bootloader_nanomips().
