I see the same build warning, but I don't think adding a cast here
solves the problem:

- efi.tpm_final_log is a physical address that gets passed into
  memremap() to return a pointer
- tpm2_calc_event_log_size() takes a pointer argument and
  dereferences it.

My best guess is that we should pass the output of memremap()
here rather than the input:

--- a/drivers/firmware/efi/tpm.c
+++ b/drivers/firmware/efi/tpm.c
@@ -75,7 +75,7 @@ int __init efi_tpm_eventlog_init(void)
                goto out;
        }

-       tbl_size = tpm2_calc_event_log_size(efi.tpm_final_log
+       tbl_size = tpm2_calc_event_log_size(final_tbl
                                            + sizeof(final_tbl->version)
                                            + sizeof(final_tbl->nr_events),
                                            final_tbl->nr_events,

No idea if that is actually what was intended here, but it makes
the code look more plausible.
