That's just an idiotic suggestion - there's no other way to put that.
Let's have some sanity here.
dma_addr_t is the size of a DMA address for the CPU architecture being
built. This has no relationship to what any particular DMA engine uses.
DMA addresses are likely to be stored in scatter tables in memory, and
such structures should be defined using u32, u64 (even more bonus points
if you use le32 and le64), etc and not types which are dependent on the
CPU architecture.
