mScale. Will update the message.

It's a generic change.

MCFGR[PS] is not mentioned in i.MX8MQ SRM and MCFG_PS in CTPR_MS is
documented as set to "0" (seems to match in real HW as well). Doesn't
seem like a workable solution for i.MX8MQ. Is there something I am
missing?

I don't understand what you mean here. 32-bit CAAM + 32-bit dma_addr_t
should already be the case for i.MX6, etc. how is what you describe
different?

Makes sense, will do here and in other places.
