When you say "Linux coding style standards" what exactly does that mean?
I've just re-read the Documentation/process/coding-style.rst section on
"Macros, Enums and RTL" and I don't see an issue with the macro.

This code is in the middle of a big section full of macros.  Why did you
pick this particular macro?  Now it doesn't mirror the IPU3_PTE2ADDR()
so this patch hurts readability.

To me the original macro is fine.  The inline would also be fine if it
were done consistently.  But I guess I just don't see a lot of value in
changing the existing code.

If you were taking ownership of this driver in a more meaningful way
then I would defer to your taste...  But I just don't see a lot of value
in the patch.
