In Commit a8f5738779a9 ("drm/panthor: Pass an iomem pointer to GPU
register access helpers"), the gpu register access helpers were changed
from taking a pointer to a struct panthor_device in their first
argument, to taking a void pointer.

This can cause problems, as patches based on panthor before this change
will still compile fine after it. struct panthor_device * implicitly
casts to a void pointer, resulting in completely wrong semantics.

Prevent this problem by wrapping the affected functions with macros that
specifically check for and reject the struct panthor_device * type as
the first argument.
