Hi Jason,

I know exactly what you mean, but the interface also called by lots of
other places in our driver, I plan to leave this revision in future work.
With db.doorbell input, we could get the correct value (64 bit) w/o *(u64 *).
Thus, this patch will not be updated in patch v4.

Thank you very much for clarify your solution.
