Hello Jason,
I had a fast look at the changes that you're proposing with this series.

The reasons behind this are more or less understood on my side, but the
actual changes look a bit odd in the sense that passing a physical address
like this, on a first glance, not only looks like it may be dangerous, but
also looks like there's a lot of room for improvement.

Can you please point me at some driver/code (or a reference downsream kernel
for this SoC, which would be even better) so that I can take a look at how
is that being used?

Thanks,
Angelo
