When building with clang 18 I see the following warning:
|       drivers/net/mdio/mdio-xgene.c:338:13: warning: cast to smaller integer
|               type 'enum xgene_mdio_id' from 'const void *' [-Wvoid-pointer-to-enum-cast]
|         338 |                 mdio_id = (enum xgene_mdio_id)of_id->data;

This is due to the fact that `of_id->data` is a void* while `enum
xgene_mdio_id` has the size of an int. This leads to truncation and
possible data loss.

Note: `xgene_mdio_id` has only two fields enumerated from 1 which means
this is no data loss happening here. Either way, this patch helps the
goal of eventually enabling this warning for more builds by reducing
noise.

I wonder whether it would be better to use device_get_match_data()
here? The whole of_match_device()...acpi_match_device() dance could
become:

+	mdio_id = (uintptr_t)device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev);
	if (!mdio_id)
		return -ENODEV;

It's probably something for a follow-up patch though.
