I feel that you should store the return value from dev_get_addr() in
an fdt_addr_t or a ulong. Then it can be cast to a pointer as you
wish. Platform data should hold the ulong, and private data
(dev_get_priv()) should hold the pointer.
I'm not keen on the POINTER_SIZE_CAST idea.
Does that fix the problem?

Simon
