We should always type-cast pointer to "long" or "unsigned long"
because size of pointer is same as machine word size. This will
avoid pointer type-cast issues on both 32bit and 64bit systems.

This patch fixes pointer type-cast issue in brcmnand_write()
as-per above info.

Hmm, this block isn't really good. We should probably work to remove
this. Not sure why I left that in, actually. At a minimum, it'd probably
good to make this noisier, so if we see this in practice, we can work to
fix those cases.

But anyway, the patch is good (though 'uintptr_t' might be slightly
better), so pushed to l2-mtd.git.
