Fengguang, good catch, thanks!

Guenter, 2 remarks:

1) The changing of the type of the address parameter of sch56xx_device_add is
    not necessary
2) A similar change is needed for the f71882fg, there the type of the address
    variable in f71882fg_init() needs to be changed to int too.

Regards,

Hans
