From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam at freescale.com>

The Beceem WIMAX was generating compile warnings on 64bit machines,
which were:

drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c: In function ‘StoreCmControlResponseMessage’:
drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c:1503:3: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
   (struct bcm_connect_mgr_params *) ntohl(
   ^
drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c:1546:3: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
   (struct bcm_connect_mgr_params *) ntohl(
   ^
drivers/staging/bcm/CmHost.c:1564:3: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
   (struct bcm_connect_mgr_params *) ntohl(

This resolves the issue by preventing the driver to compile if CONFIG_64BIT
is enabled, since the driver is known to be broken for 64 bit arch's.

v2: change fix from using typecast u64 in the code to altering Kconfig to
    prevent the driver from compiling on 64 bit arch's based on feedback
