Currently it is not safe to config the IP as 64-bit addressable on 32-bit archectures, which cannot perform a double-word store on its descriptor pointers. The pointer is 64-bit wide if the IP is configured as 64-bit, and the device would process the partially updated pointer on some states if the pointer was updated via two store-words. To prevent such condition, we force a probe fail if we discover that the IP has 64-bit capability but it is not running on a 64-Bit kernel. This is a series of patch (1/2). The next patch must be applied in order to make 64b DMA safe on 64b archectures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
