Thanks Stephen. I will send out a v2 with port casting to uintptr_t.

Regarding the use of PRIxPTR, I have seen this in couple other drivers.
I think it is probably because the original variable is defined as uintptr_t,
which was typedef'ed to unsigned long. We probably want to differentiate
it from an actual pointer. And I was trying to stick to original code.
