These drivers cast resource_type_t to void * causing the build to fail.

With a 32 bit build and PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT enabled the resource_size_t
type is a 64bit unsigned int which cannot be cast to a 32 bit pointer.

Disable these drivers if not 64BIT and PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT are configured.

Hi Guenter,
These nice patches from Arnd fix the i386 build issue without having applied
my v6 patch:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-staging/20241213064959.1045243-1-arnd@xxxxxxxxxx/

I tested only
make ARCH=i386 allmodconfig
make ARCH=i386 M=drivers/staging/gpib

-Dave

I don't care how this is fixed. What I do care about it that we are close to -rc3, and my
test builds still fail.

Build results:
total: 161 pass: 155 fail: 6
Failed builds:
csky:allmodconfig
i386:allyesconfig
i386:allmodconfig
openrisc:allmodconfig
s390:allmodconfig
xtensa:allmodconfig

all because of GPIB problems. Given that this is a staging driver, I am inclined to just
hard-disable GPIB completely in my test coverage. I'll do that after -rc3 is out.
