I have followed the call path from the usage in 
drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c and made sure the dma_addr_t is not used in a 
bad way.

I also looked at the dma-mapping API and ruled out that the only 
function that make sens to use with a dma_addr_t from dma_map_resource() 
are dma_unmap_resource() and dma_mapping_error(). With that I can't see 
how a dma_addr_t would end up in lib/dma-debug.c. But I might be missing 
something?

In the big picture do you feel the approach I have is the correct way to 
solve my problem? Provided we can work out this issues ofc?
