So we stick with u64 in the DT code. I think I see your point about fdt_translate_address(); you want it to mirror of_translate_address(), yes? If so, then I have no objection to this patch and will mark it reviewed. But the u64 value from fdt_translate_address() should be preserved at least to the ioremap()/set_fixmap() in earlycon_map() . I could roll that change into my earlycon series that moves fdt_translate_address() into of_setup_earlycon(), thus preserving the u64 value until it's assigned to a phys_addr_t.
