/dev/mem: Use more consistent data types
The xlate_dev_{kmem,mem}_ptr() functions take either a physical address or a kernel virtual address, so data types should be phys_addr_t and void *. They both return a kernel virtual address which is only ever used in calls to copy_{from,to}_user(), so make variables that store it void * rather than char * for consistency. Also only define a weak unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function if architectures haven't overridden them in the asm/io.h header file. Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>
