[PATCH] kbuild: make implicit int to pointer conversion warning an error

[Ahmad Fatoum]

We are guilty of using ints as pointers in readl/writel, but the old
definition of these uses a cast to silence the warning.

Everywhere else there's no reason to allow this, so make this a hard
error always to weed out any instances we may still have.

Disallowing this has the added benefit of making it easier to change API
in barebox: We do not guarantee out-of-tree board code API stability,
but we want changes in API to result in build errors, not in warnings
that may be eaten up by a build system sitting in-between Kbuild and the
user.

While at it, we fix the whitespace for the surrounding lines.
