[U-Boot] [PATCH] dm: core: Add dev_get_addr_ptr() to return a pointer to the reg address

On some platforms (e.g. x86), the return value of dev_get_addr() can't be assigned to a pointer type variable directly. As there might be a difference between the size of fdt_addr_t and the pointer type. On x86 for example, "fdt_addr_t" is 64bit but "void *" only 32bit. So assigning the register base directly in dev_get_addr() results in this compilation warning: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
This patch introduces the new function dev_get_addr_ptr() that returns a pointer to the 'reg' address that can be used by drivers in this case.

Looks this was already applied an in mainline. See 28027521be95d27fcb83669e09ce3563bb4dd977

Yes, IIRC, Heiko applied it with the I2C DWC patches. I've also added the comment in the header, so this should hopefully be okay.
