Looks good to me. I would apply this to the asm-generic
tree for 6.13, but there is one small detail I'm unsure
about:

We only want the #if branch for 32-bit architectures, right?

On 64-bit ones, CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is always set, so
I think that is unnecessary change from the existing version,
even though it should be harmless.
