[ Upstream commit 0a4c56c80f90797e9b9f8426c6aae4c0cf1c9785 ]
Commit ef91bb196b0d ("kernel.h: Silence sparse warning in
lower_32_bits") caused new warnings to show in the fsldma driver, but
that commit was not to blame: it only exposed some very incorrect code
that tried to take the low 32 bits of an address.
That made no sense for multiple reasons, the most notable one being that
that code was intentionally limited to only 32-bit ppc builds, so "only
low 32 bits of an address" was completely nonsensical. There were no
high bits to mask off to begin with.
But even more importantly fropm a correctness standpoint, turning the
address into an integer then caused the subsequent address arithmetic to
be completely wrong too, and the "+1" actually incremented the address
by one, rather than by four.
Which again was incorrect, since the code was reading two 32-bit values
and trying to make a 64-bit end result of it all. Surprisingly, the
iowrite64() did not suffer from the same odd and incorrect model.
This code has never worked, but it's questionable whether anybody cared:
of the two users that actually read the 64-bit value (by way of some C
preprocessor hackery and eventually the 'get_cdar()' inline function),
one of them explicitly ignored the value, and the other one might just
happen to work despite the incorrect value being read.
This patch at least makes it not fail the build any more, and makes the
logic superficially sane. Whether it makes any difference to the code
_working_ or not shall remain a mystery.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
