That's a hack though, isn't it?  chip->chip_type is not of type
uintptr_t, so all you're doing here is making the compiler happy.

I see people using (int)(uintptr_t), which I guess keeps the
compiler happy in the first instance and actually culminates in a
correct cast to the right type.

So how about something like (enum da9062_compatible_types)(long)?
