Thanks for fixing this!

BTW, I started fixing this a while ago, too, but of course I dived too deep
into arch/m32r/platforms/*/io.c (there are plenty of more type inconsistencies
with asm-generic/io.h!), and gave up after ca. 500 lines of changes ;-)

Don't you want to change the type of "l" instead of the type of "addr"?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
