Hi Min Li,

thanks for addressing my earlier feedback.
I have done a more thorough review of this version,
I hope that it is useful.

I see that this patch expands the width of the module parameter of
idtcm_read() and idtcm_write(). And that with this change the module
parameter's leading 16bits are 0x2010. And that this is done to allow the
leading bits to be a different value, which I assume will be utilised in a
follow-up patch. But I am unclear on how the code handles that the
underlying read/write is now to an address 0x2010000 bytes greater than
before, or alternatively, how 0x2010000 was previously taken into account.

Also:

1. idtcm_output_enable() still seems to pass a 16-bit value as the module
   parameter to idtcm_read() and idtcm_write(), which seems inconsistent
   with this patch.

2. Related to 1., get_output_base_addr() returns an int which either
   encodes a negative error value (good) or a 32bit address (maybe not so
   good).

3. Some more of the idtcm_write() calls in _sync_pll_output() seem
   to need updating by inverting the 2nd and 3rd parameters
   so that the 2nd parameter is 32bits. I'm referring to the use
   of sync_ctrl0 and sync_ctrl1 as arguments to idtcm_write().

It is unclear to me how the _idtcm_adjphase changes in the above 3 hunks
relate to the patch description. I wonder if this should be a separate patch?

Removing IDTCM_MAX_WRITE_COUNT seems nice, if it is unused.
But this doesn't seem related to the rest of this patch,
so perhaps it should be a separate patch.

Likewise, cleaning up PAGE_ADDR_BASE and PAGE_ADDR doesn't
seem strictly related to this patch. Though perhaps I am missing
something obvious.
