I seemed to have missed what this is about entirely.  Is there some
place I can look that describes what that is supposed to do?  The PPC
4xx boards set PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT because the MMU uses 36 bit
addressing, but the CPU is only 32 bits.  I want to make sure this DMA
thing isn't going to cause problems.

Yes, we need to test a bit. Our dma_addr_t has remained 32-bit so far
because despite the fact that we've had routinely to deal with >32-bit
physical addresses for MMIO, physical memory support has been
constrained afaik to 32-bit.

We might be better off keeping this as something individual platforms
can select...

Cheers,
Ben.

This patchset unifies dma_addr_t typedef.

this patchset changes nothing. Please see below.

Really?

The current dma_addr_t is:

#if defined(__powerpc64__) || defined(CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT)
typedef u64 dma_addr_t;
#else
typedef u32 dma_addr_t;
#endif
typedef u64 dma64_addr_t;


I think that this patch doesn't change anything. Or I miss something?

-EBRAINFAI ... either I wasn't looking when we changed it or I just
forgot :-) We -used-, I'm pretty sure, to have it always 32-bit :-)

Anyways, doesn't matter. Patch looks good. We can always tweak the
config option if we want to later.

Cheers,
Ben.
