Here it's unavoidable because some bad person went and made hwrng.priv
an `unsigned long'. I haven't checked, but I bet it should have been a
void*.

devm_ioremap_nocache() returns a `void __iomem *'. Hence we should be
recording that value in a field of type `void __iomem *'. Instead,
we're wedging it into a u64.
Something went wrong!

Ditto.

The hwrng.priv problem again.

Please take another look and check that the selection of types was as
good as it could possibly be?
Also, let's all send rude emails to Herbert over the type of hwrng.priv ;)
