I guess no one tested this on 32bits seems to have caused this.

The old code is not that old, only ~18 months:

a1ff82a9c165 ("dmaengine: fsldma: Adding macro FSL_DMA_IN/OUT implement for ARM platform") (Jan 2019)

So I think it's possible it's never been tested on 32-bit ppc at all.

I did have a 32-bit FSL machine but it lost its network card in a power
outage and now it won't boot (and I can't get to it physically).

My bad. I had noticed the '+ 1' and so automatically assumed
'OK, pointer arithmetic now' without noticing that the cast was
done only after the addition. Grrr.

FWIW, the version you committed looks much better to me.

Well, honestly, the old code was so confused that just making it build
is clearly already an improvement even if everything else were to be
wrong.

So I committed my "fix". If it turns out there's more wrong in there
and somebody tests it, we can fix it again. But now it hopefully
compiles, at least.

My bet is that if that driver ever worked on ppc32, it will continue
to work whatever we do to that function.

I _think_ the old code happened to - completely by mistake - get the
value right for the case of "little endian access, with dma_addr_t
being 32-bit". Because then it would still read the upper bits wrong,
but the cast to dma_addr_t would then throw those bits away. And the
lower bits would be right.

But for big-endian accesses or for ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT it really
looks like it always returned a completely incorrect value.

And again - the driver may have worked even with that completely
incorrect value, since the use of it seems to be very incidental.

In either case ("it didn't work before" or "it worked because the
value doesn't really matter"), I don't think I could possibly have
made things worse.

Famous last words.

A bit more careful this time. For the attached patch:

Yeah, that code was completely pointless. If the pointer had actually
been 64-bit, the old code would have warned too.

The odd thing is that the fsl_iowrite64() functions make sense. It's
only the fsl_ioread64() functions that seem to be written by somebody
who is really confused.

That said, this patch only humors the confusion. The cast to 'u32' is
completely pointless. In fact, it seems to be actively wrong, because
it means that the later "fsl_addr + 1" is done entirely incorrectly -
it now literally adds "1" to an integer value, while the iowrite()
functions will add one to a "u32 __iomem *" pointer (so will do
pointer arithmetic, and add 4).

So this code has never ever worked correctly to begin with, but the
patches to fix the warning miss the point. The problem isn't the
warning, the problem is that the code is broken and completely wrong
to begin with.

And the "lower_32_bits()" thing has always been pure and utter
confusion and complete garbage.

I *think* the right patch is the one attached, but since this code is
clearly utterly broken, I'd want somebody to test it.

It has probably never ever worked on 32-bit powerpc, or did so purely
by mistake (perhaps because nobody really cares - the only 64-bit use
is this:

    static dma_addr_t get_cdar(struct fsldma_chan *chan)
    {
        return FSL_DMA_IN(chan, &chan->regs->cdar, 64) & ~FSL_DMA_SNEN;
    }

and there are two users of that: one which ignores the return value,
and one that looks like it might end up half-way working even if the
value read was garbage (it's used only to compare against a "current
descriptor" value).

Anyway, the fix is definitely not to just shut up the warning. The
warning is only a sign of utter confusion in that driver.

Can somebody with the hardware test this on 32-bit ppc?

And if not (judging by just how broken those functions are, maybe it
never did work), can somebody with a ppc32 setup at least compile-test
this patch and look at whether it makes sense, in ways the old code
did not.

For ppc32, the functions fsl_ioread64() & fsl_ioread64be()
use lower_32_bits() as a fancy way to cast the pointer to u32
in order to do non-atomic 64-bit IO.

But the pointer is already 32-bit, so simply cast the pointer to u32.

This fixes a compile error introduced by
   ef91bb196b0d ("kernel.h: Silence sparse warning in lower_32_bits")
