Generates two warnings even it should be ok according to link to specification you sent.
  CC [M]  drivers/video/xilinxfb.o
drivers/video/xilinxfb.c: In function 'xilinxfb_assign':
drivers/video/xilinxfb.c:344: warning: format '%p' expects type 'void *', but argument 4 has type 'phys_addr_t'
drivers/video/xilinxfb.c:348: warning: format '%p' expects type 'void *', but argument 4 has type 'dma_addr_t'

On microblaze toolchain I see the same warnings. (mmu_defconfig)

I have also grepped the kernel and I see that it is used in 4 c files which seems to me
weird because phy_addr_t or dma_addr_t are used on a lot of places.

Thanks,
Michal
