Because the argument is an int:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ahb.c: In function ‘ath_ahb_probe’:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ahb.c:141:18: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘ioread32’ makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
   reg = ioread32(AR5K_AR2315_AHB_ARB_CTL);

Best regards,
Krzysztof
