Sure, I'll expand this section. However they were both stored in the
same place - struct sec_pmic. Additionally device_type is stored in
pdata.

Hmmm... it was like that before Pankaj Dubey change (8f695de515b9).
Solving that issue (-Wpointer-to-int-cast) along with keeping 'int' as
return type of sec_i2c_get_driver_data would lead to one of:
1. Using temporary variable in ec_i2c_get_driver_data just for cast.

static inline int sec_i2c_get_driver_data(struct i2c_client *i2c,
						const struct i2c_device_id *id)
{
	unsigned long type;

	if (i2c->dev.of_node) {
		const struct of_device_id *match;
		match = of_match_node(sec_dt_match, i2c->dev.of_node);
		type = (unsigned long)match->data;
	}
	type = id->driver_data;

	return (int)type;
}

or
2. Double cast: (int)(unsigned long)match->data;

For me both are kind a ugly... What do you think?
