As a note of general principle, adding __force to casts is not the correct
way to solve these sparse warnings.
__force is supposed to be used in places which know that the cast is 100%
legitimate - in other words, architecture code removing the __iomem-ness
of the pointer so it can be dereferenced. Sprinking the code with __force
to shut these warnings up doesn't actually help the cause.

This should be a cast to unsigned long, not u32.

Ditto.
A cast from an __iomem pointer to unsigned long is permitted - no need
to use __force.
