Yeah.  You're right.  Thanks.

The original patch is the right fix.  Although it sort of feels like the
double shift should be a macro.

/*
 * The dma_addr_t type can be either 32 or 64 bit.  Left shifting a 32
 * bit number is undefined so this do two 16 bit left shifts.
 *
 */
#define DMA_LSHIFT_32(val) (((dma_addr_t)(val) << 16) << 16)
