Thanks for the report.  Passing a pointer to lower_32_bits is just
bad.

---8<---
The functions fsl_ioread64* were passing a pointer to lower_32_bits
which just happened to work because it was a macro that simply did
a cast on the argument.

However, now that lower_32_bits does a mask on the argument it no
longer works.  Passing a pointer to lower_32_bits doesn't look
right anyway.

This patch adds explicit casts so that an integer is passed along
as the argument to lower_32_bits.
