That's a fragile assumption.

The register name looks like this is only the lower 32 bits that you
can set here, and that there is another register for the upper 32 bits
of that address somewhere.

In that case, please use the lower_32_bits and upper_32_bits helper,
and don't cast it that way.

If it isn't the case, you should set the DMA mask (through
dma_set_mask) so that we only allocate memory that can be accessed by
this device.
