This will be actually converted to an integer at the compile time.

Ok, I really like using accessor calls instead of pointer accesses but I
don't really understand the reason for using C structs here... I
remember I've already asked you about that and you told me that it's for
type safety... But we loose this type-safety when we are using I/O
accessor functions! All pointers are just silently converted to the
needed type... On the other hand Linux uses offsets for registers
definitions so converting them to C structs makes porting and
maintaining ported drivers harder...

I can see these macros defined only for ppc arch... And I really prefer
generic writel(readl() | something) here... The reason is the same: to
preserve as much code as it possible in drivers ported from Linux.

These are actually base addresses. I don't think we can make use of C
structs here.
