I think did it in the series V1:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mediatek/patch/20241121042602.32730-5-jason-jh.lin@mediatek.com/

Because it'll need to passing the base_pa and that will need to change
the interface for original APIs.

And CK think that's not a necessary to change the APIs. It can be done
by cmdq_pkt_assign() + cmdq_pkt_write_s_mask_value() in the client
drivers. Then you can see this pattern in everywhere. :-)
