The commit 8990777914 ("netcp: try to reduce type confusion in
descriptors") introduces a regression in Kernel 4.5-rc1 and it breaks
get/set_pad_info() functionality.
The TI NETCP driver uses pad0 and pad1 fields of knav_dma_desc to
store DMA/MEM buffer pointer and buffer size respectively. And in both
cases for Keystone 2 the pointer type size is 32 bit regardless of
LAPE enabled or not, because CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT originally
is not expected to be defined.
Unfortunately, above commit changed buffer's pointers save/restore
code (get/set_pad_info()) and added intermediate conversation to u64
which works incorrectly on 32bit Keystone 2 and causes TI NETCP driver
crash in RX/TX path due to "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer"
exception. This issue was reported and discussed in [1].
Hence, fix it by partially reverting above commit and restoring
get/set_pad_info() functionality as it was before.
