I would reword this a bit, the address is not beyond 32 bit, which would
could be interpret as if the address starts after 32nd bit, instead it
is larger than 32bits. Secondly, we don't change the type in case the
high bit is missing, we change the type unconditionally, we do change
the type so that the high bit isn't missing.

My suggestion:

The physical address on the MT8188 platform is larger than 32 bits,
change the type from unsigned int to unsigned long to be able to access
the high bits of the address.

One more question below...

I can see in other parts of the driver that bs->dma_addr is converted to
u64 or uint64_t. Is unsigned long always 64-bit on the different
Mediatek platforms? If so, why do you prefer unsigned long over u64?
(Which describes the type more precisely)

(Same applies for:
drivers/media/platform/mediatek/vcodec/decoder/vdec/vdec_vp8_if.c:452)

Greetings,
