This patch obviously doesn't _fix_warnings_, rather changes specifiers
to get it consistent with argument.

Usually there is no need to cite all lines…

This approach is not fully correct. In Linux kernel we have %p
extensions to cover some custom types such as resource_size_t, of which
mapbase is.

Thus,

"Setup PNP port: port %lx, mem %pa, irq %d, type %d\n",
uart.port.iobase, &uart.port.mapbase,

looks better.
