gcc does not generate warnings as far as I can see and the precision
loss itself is not a problem in this case, since we only store the
enum values in the pointer anyways.
I don't mind adding the uintptr_t cast. But in that case it should
probably be added in a few other places, too:
$ git grep of_device_get_match_data | grep "(enum"
drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/adv7511/adv7511_drv.c: adv7511->type = (enum adv7511_type)of_device_get_match_data(dev);
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-rcar.c: priv->devtype = (enum rcar_i2c_type)of_device_get_match_data(dev);
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb_main.c: chip_id = (enum ravb_chip_id)of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev);
drivers/pci/host/pci-imx6.c: (enum imx6_pcie_variants)of_device_get_match_data(dev);
drivers/power/supply/axp20x_usb_power.c: power->axp20x_id = (enum axp20x_variants)of_device_get_match_data(
drivers/reset/hisilicon/hi6220_reset.c: type = (enum hi6220_reset_ctrl_type)of_device_get_match_data(dev);
drivers/usb/phy/phy-msm-usb.c: pdata->phy_type = (enum msm_usb_phy_type)of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev);
