[PATCH] dmaengine: jz4780: Fix an endian bug in IRQ handler

[Dan Carpenter]

The "pending" variable was a u32 but we cast it to an unsigned long
pointer when we do the for_each_set_bit() loop.  The problem is that on
big endian 64bit systems that results in an out of bounds read.

I don't know if this driver is ever used on a big endian 64 bit system,
but the fix is pretty easy and it silences a static checker warning.

Not tested.
