Subject: [PATCH] power: vexpress: fix -Wvoid-pointer-to-enum-cast warning

When building with clang 18 I see the following warning:
|       drivers/power/reset/vexpress-poweroff.c:124:10: warning: cast to smaller integer type 'enum vexpress_reset_func' from 'const void *' [-Wvoid-pointer-to-enum-cast]
|         124 |         switch ((enum vexpress_reset_func)match->data) {

This is due to the fact that `match->data` is a void* while `enum vexpress_reset_func`
has the size of an int. This leads to truncation and possible data loss.

Note: In this case, it seems unlikely that any data loss is occurring
since `enum vexpress_reset_func` only has a few fields enumerated from 0.
