The proper way to casts pointer to integers is to cast to "uintptr_t".

However, the address is stored in a 32-bit descriptor, which means it can
not work on 64-bit platforms.

Please make the driver depend on "!64BIT || BROKEN"

Cfr. commit 15bfe05c8d6386f1 ("net: ethernet: xilinx: Mark XILINX_LL_TEMAC
broken on 64-bit")

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
