I still think it would be good to actually understand what the actual
problem was.

This looks wrong: I was getting the build warnings originally
because of 64-bit dma_addr_t, and that should be the only way that
this driver can operate, because in some configurations on keystone
there is no memory below 4GB, and there is no dma-ranges property
in the DT that shifts around the start of the DMA addresses.

This doesn't all fit together yet, maybe you have a better idea
of what is going on.

I don't think we should ever have a platform that has dma_addr_t
and phys_addr_t be different.

The conversion is not what made it crash, it must be a bug in the
conversion ;-)

As in my earlier patch, the line you are removing here was clearly
broken, but evidently that is not the only bug.

I'd prefer not to put code like this back, as this cannot possibly
do the right thing on a 64-bit architecture.

This is clearly broken on big-endian kernels with 64-bit dma_addr_t, so even
if we revert the rest I think this part has to stay.

I have another version for testing below. That removes the logic that
splits and reassembles the 64-bit values, but leaves the other changes
in place. Can you try this?
