Subject: [PATCH] PCI: iproc: fix -Wvoid-pointer-to-enum-cast warning

When building with clang 18 I see the following warning:
|       drivers/pci/controller/pcie-iproc-platform.c:55:15: warning: cast to smaller
|                integer type 'enum iproc_pcie_type' from 'const void *' [-Wvoid-pointer-to-enum-cast]
|          55 |         pcie->type = (enum iproc_pcie_type) of_device_get_match_data(dev);

This is due to the fact that `of_device_get_match_data` returns a void*
while `enum iproc_pcie_type` has the size of an int. This leads to
truncation and possible data loss.

Note: There is likely no data loss occurring here since `enum
iproc_pcie_type` has only a few fields enumerated from 0. Definitely not
enough to cause data loss from pointer-width to int-width.
