fbdev: arkfb: Cast ics5342_init() allocation type



In preparation for making the kmalloc family of allocators type aware,
we need to make sure that the returned type from the allocation matches
the type of the variable being assigned. (Before, the allocator would
always return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any pointer type.)

The assigned type is "struct dac_info *" but the returned type will be
"struct ics5342_info *", which has a larger allocation size. This is
by design, as struct ics5342_info contains struct dac_info as its first
member.
