Change %lx to %p to print the secured pointer.

Looks OK to me. But please fix the commit title to:

"ata: atp867x: Fix pointer value print"

"pointer leak" is too scary for what is only a simple printk problem.

It's not a simple printk() problem, it's an kernel info leak that he's fixing. But, as I said, this driver doesn't use MMIO, so "leaks" only I/O port addresses.
