ath10k: fix invalid dma_addr_t token assignment
commit 937e79c upstream.
Using a kernel pointer in place of a dma_addr_t token can
lead to undefined behavior if that makes it into cache
management functions. The compiler caught one such attempt
in a cast:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/mac.c: In function 'ath10k_add_interface':
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/mac.c:5586:47: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
5586 | arvif->beacon_paddr = (dma_addr_t)arvif->beacon_buf;
| ^
Looking through how this gets used down the way, I'm fairly
sure that beacon_paddr is never accessed again for ATH10K_DEV_TYPE_HL
devices, and if it was accessed, that would be a bug.
Change the assignment to use a known-invalid address token
instead, which avoids the warning and makes it easier to catch
bugs if it does end up getting used.
