Yes, I agree in general.

And that was the first thing I tried when doing v2, before moving away
from it. This is not for a console printf statement, but is rather for
the regmap debugfs name. Using a %pa adds the 0x and leading zeros in
the debugfs name, when compared to the name before this patch. The
typecast retains the current format, and replaces the unit-address
without the leading 0s either. Introducing a local-variable to avoid the
typecast is overkill.

Did you mean %pfwP? That can probably be handled when syscon code is
updated to use fwnode API.
