See dw_edma_v0_core_write_chunk()

sar = cpu_to_le64(child->sar);
SET_LL(&lli[i].sar_low, lower_32_bits(sar));
SET_LL(&lli[i].sar_high, upper_32_bits(sar));

SET_LL() expands to writel(), which does a cpu_to_le32() swap.
(the swap gets left out on architectures that are little-endian only)

No, just as long as a pointer. I somehow misread these as
referring to a kernel pointer, but got that part wrong. The
local variables can just be dropped then, just use
lower_32_bits(child->sar)) etc.

No, because of the double-swap you are writing a big-endian address
here, which is the bug I am referring to.
