[PATCH] ACPI: OSL: fix __iomem type on return acpi_os_map_generic_address()

[Ben Dooks]

The pointer returned from acpi_os_map_generic_address() is
tagged with __iomem, so make the rv it is returned to also
of void __iomem * type.

Fixes the following sparse warning:

drivers/acpi/osl.c:1686:20: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
drivers/acpi/osl.c:1686:20:    expected void *rv
drivers/acpi/osl.c:1686:20:    got void [noderef] __iomem *
