[PATCH] spi: spi.c: Provide cast to avoid warning

[Fabio Estevam]

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam-KZfg59tc24xl57MIdRCFDg@public.gmane.org>

commit b3a223ee2d (spi: Remove SPI_BUFSIZ restriction on spi_write_then_read())
introduced the following build warning:

drivers/spi/spi.c:1655:355: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [enabled by default]

Provide the cast to avoid the warning.

Grant already fixed that, perhaps he didn't push the change out yet or
it's just that you're testing with -next and it didn't pick it up yet?
