Yes indeed, I suspect it's a leftover from a previous implementation I
did. There are also other unneeded u64 casts indeed.

In fact this driver was NOT pulled with the last SCMI v3.1 updates/fixes given
the very scarce review it got upstream (as you can see...)

I'll review all of these and integrate your other fixes in my next post
of the SCMI Arm poercap driver.

Thanks,
