Subject: [PATCH 3.16 11/19] mmc: sunxi: avoid invalid pointer calculation

3.16.43-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

commit d34712d2e3db9b241d0484a6e3839c6b7ef9df78 upstream.

The sunxi mmc driver tries to calculate a dma address by using pointer
arithmetic, which causes a warning when dma_addr_t is wider than a pointer:

drivers/mmc/host/sunxi-mmc.c: In function 'sunxi_mmc_init_idma_des':
drivers/mmc/host/sunxi-mmc.c:296:35: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
  struct sunxi_idma_des *pdes_pa = (struct sunxi_idma_des *)host->sg_dma;
                                   ^

To avoid this warning and to simplify the logic, this changes
the code to avoid the cast and calculate the correct address
manually. The behavior should be unchanged.
