The compiler warning
drivers/atm/firestream.c: In function ‘top_off_fp’: drivers/atm/firestream.c:1505: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
does indicate a bug, albeit a minor one. Fixed, by using a 32-bit temporary prior to the call to bus_to_virt().
The larger bug is still present: the entire driver assumes that machine pointers are 32-bit, as it stores pointers in 32-bit hardware registers. This is obvious to anyone who knows the driver well, but for the casual readers it is helpfully noted with FIXME.
