This is only intented to be used for logging, so I suggested to use u32.
I want to avoid treating this struct member as a phys_addr_t where it
may be misused.

As for the reason to capture only the lower 32-bit, it's just base on
what I've seen so far. That I have not seen designs where the 2 or more
instances are placed that far apart and share the same lower 32-bit.
It's a bit nicer to shorten the address print at the start of a
tracepoint. But if it's insufficient, there's no problem with using
64-bit.
