Subject: [PATCH v2] acpica: fix -Wnull-pointer-arithmetic warnings

Clang generate quite a few of those warnings.

drivers/acpi/scan.c:759:28: warning: arithmetic on a null pointer
treated as a cast from integer to pointer is a GNU extension
[-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]

(ACPI_CAST_PTR (u8, (a)) + (acpi_size)(b)))

This is because pointer arithmetic on a pointer not pointing to an array
is an undefined behavior (C11 6.5.6, constraint 8). Fix it by just
casting the corresponding pointers using ACPI_CAST_PTR() and skip the
arithmetic. Also, fix a checkpatch warning together.

ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses

+#define ACPI_TO_POINTER(i)              ACPI_CAST_PTR (void, i)

v2: Use ACPI_CAST_PTR() in ACPI_TO_POINTER() directly without
    arithmetic.
