Good catch.

I would prefer if fdt_translate_address() returned resource_size_t (which
is the proper type for handling addresses as integers) and that type
was propagated through early_init_dt_scan_chosen_serial => of_setup_earlycon.

PS - It seems that there is a new user of fdt_translate_address() in the
nios arch:

    nios2: add early printk support

I've copied the author as that should have been an earlycon in the
altera uart driver(s) rather than early_printk. Oh well.
