Yes, it's a recurring problem in the DRM with physical addresses that are
bigger than 32-bit on 32-bit systems. There have been patches done to
fix that but afaik never quite "completed". I can dig internally if
I can put my hand onto something.

If possible at all, can you try to configure your SoC to bring the MMIO
space of the PCIe within the bottom 32-bit of the chip address space ?

(Or use a 64-bit e5500 based chip ? :-)

Cheers,
Ben.
