Fix the test rather than trying to force it into the error pointer
macro.

If fifo_offset is not a pointer, then change the test to check for
whatever would be appropriate for values returned from
fman_muram_alloc().

This is a very low quality patch submission, you submitted a "fix"
which added a new build warning and made it obvious that something
else is needed as well here. You even stated that you realized this.
