Thanks, I was not aware of that.

But what is the alternative ?  I have an Alchemy 1550 board with
an ethernet chip at 0xD-1000-0000, and last time I tried, enabling
  CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR,
  CONFIG_ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT and
  CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT
did not seem to allow access to the 36-bit I/O address space
through the platform_get_resource/request_mem_region machinery.
Is this supposed to work now ?
