Sorry for the long time delay to reply.
Do you agree this way using ulong as the return type?
"
#ifdef CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
unsigned long dev_get_addr(struct udevice *dev)
{
     fdt_addr_t addr;
     addr = fdtdec_get_addr(gd->fdt_blob, dev->of_offset, "reg");
     return addr;
}
#else
unsigned long dev_get_addr(struct udevice *dev)
{
     return FDT_ADDR_T_NONE;
}
#endif
"
Is it better to move this piece of code to include/dm/device.h and using 
static inline prototype? or put them still in driver/core/device.c?
