Hi Michal,

Thanks for trying to fix this.

Actually no it doesn't. A device tree doesn't contain pointers, and it
doesn't say anything about the size of a pointer on a platform that uses
that device tree.

phandles are not pointers, they are handles, and they are always 32-bit.
So this code is just wrong on 64-bit, you can't safely cast from a
64-bit pointer to a phandle.

But I think this warning has actually been fixed differently by commit:

  866bfc75f40e ("powerpc: conditionally compile platform-specific serial drivers")

If you're still seeing the warning let me know.

cheers
