Looking closer, the warning does not occur here, since the registers
are stored in a u32 variable "base". And assigning a 64bit value to a
32bit variable as in "plat->base = addr" in ns16550.c does not cause any
warnings.

Here in the I2C driver though, the base address is stored as a pointer
(pointer size is 32 bit for x86). And this triggers this warning, even
though its effectively the same assignment. I could cast to u32 but this
would cause problems on 64 bit architectures using this driver (in the
future). So I came up with this approach:

/*
 * On x86, "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
 *
 * Using this macro POINTER_SIZE_CAST, allows us to cast the result of
 * dev_get_addr() into a 32bit value before casting it to the pointer
 * (struct i2c_regs *).
 */
#ifdef CONFIG_X86
#define POINTER_SIZE_CAST	u32
#endif

...

static int designware_i2c_probe(struct udevice *bus)
{
	struct dw_i2c *priv = dev_get_priv(bus);

	if (device_is_on_pci_bus(bus)) {
#ifdef CONFIG_DM_PCI
		/* Save base address from PCI BAR */
		priv->regs = (struct i2c_regs *)
			dm_pci_map_bar(bus, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0, PCI_REGION_MEM);
#ifdef CONFIG_X86
		/* Use BayTrail specific timing values */
		priv->scl_sda_cfg = &byt_config;
#endif
#endif
	} else {
		/* Save base address from device-tree */
		priv->regs = (struct i2c_regs *)(POINTER_SIZE_CAST)dev_get_addr(bus);
	}

But I'm not 100% happy with this approach.

So what are the alternatives:

a) Don't compile the  dev_get_addr() part for x86 similar to what I've
   done in v1

b) This approach with POINTER_SIZE_CAST

Any preferences of other ideas?

Side note: My general feeling is, that dev_get_addr() should be able to
get cast into a pointer on all platforms. This is how it is used in many
drivers, btw. Since this is not possible on x86, we might have a problem
here. Simon might have some ideas on this as well...

Thanks,
Stefan
