A number of drivers like to print out the values of variables
which have type dma_addr_t. But there's no sane safe way
of doing this, because the size of the dma_addr_t type depends
upon platform and config.
This code:
dma_addr_t a;
char *s;
printk("stuff: %lx %s", a, s);
will crash the kernel if dma_addr_t is 64-bit, because printk
will get the string's address wrong.
The patch introduces a DMA_ADDR_T_FMT macro which is the
appropriate printf conversion string for the selected
dma_addr_t type. So the above usage will become
printk("stuff: " DMA_ADDR_T_FMT " %s", a, s);
A patch which fixes all the drivers which I could find
follows.
Ralf, could you please double-check the mips implementation?
