unsigned long is correct, see below:

static const struct of_device_id pm8058_leds_id_table[] = {
        {
                .compatible = "qcom,pm8058-led",
                .data = (void *)PM8058_LED_TYPE_COMMON
        },
        {
                .compatible = "qcom,pm8058-keypad-led",
                .data = (void *)PM8058_LED_TYPE_KEYPAD
        },
        {
                .compatible = "qcom,pm8058-flash-led",
                .data = (void *)PM8058_LED_TYPE_FLASH
        },
        { },
};

of_device_get_match_data will return PM8058_LED_TYPE_*
which clearly is a led type identifier.

Thus unsigned long looks reasonable.
