I'm fine with either fix.  For either we need a better changelog.

Something like:

The Type B Adapter teardown does iounmap on pointers subtracted by a
constant offset.  Since the offset is in bytes, we need the pointers to
be of type void * not uint32_t * so the subtraction is done in the
correct units and we iounmap the correct area.

Signed-off-by: ...
