Why don't we change that driver[1] to not use page_pool_get_dma_addr() ?

  [1] drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-rk.c

I took a closer look and it seems the driver have struct 
stmmac_rx_buffer in which is stored the dma_addr it gets from 
page_pool_get_dma_addr().

See func: stmmac_init_rx_buffers

  static int stmmac_init_rx_buffers(struct stmmac_priv *priv,
				struct dma_desc *p,
				int i, gfp_t flags, u32 queue)
  {

	if (!buf->page) {
		buf->page = page_pool_dev_alloc_pages(rx_q->page_pool);
		if (!buf->page)
			return -ENOMEM;
		buf->page_offset = stmmac_rx_offset(priv);
	}
	[...]

	buf->addr = page_pool_get_dma_addr(buf->page) + buf->page_offset;

	stmmac_set_desc_addr(priv, p, buf->addr);
	[...]
  }

I question if this driver really to use page_pool for storing the 
dma_addr as it just extract it and store it outside page_pool?

@Ilias it looks like you added part of the page_pool support in this 
driver, so I hope you can give a qualified guess on:
How much work will it be to let driver do the DMA-map itself?
(and not depend on the DMA-map feature provided by page_pool)
