On my test environment the troughput of a file transfer drops from
4.4Mbps to 116Kbps due the number of repeated warning messages.
Adding printk_ratelimit() solves the issue without removing the
warning message.

What value is there for this message being emitted more than once?

Maybe better as a static function

static void check_translate_address(struct bgmac *bgmac, dma_addr_t addr)
{
	static bool printed;

	if (!printed && (addr & (dma_addr_t)0xC0000000)))
		printed = true;
		bgmac_warn(bgmac, etc...);
	}
}

[...]

	check_translate_address(bgmac, slot->dma_addr);

Nack. Please just drop this code.

Broadcom's open source code, and on SoC we can always safely write
whole low 32b.

Yes, it works for me, even after:

-CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xC0000000
+CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0x40000000
...
+CONFIG_VMSPLIT_1G=y
+# CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G is not set

The page offset change was made by make menuconfig as a consequence of
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_1G. After the Kconfig changes the throughput is almost
40 times worst, but commenting the warnings fixes the issue. I'll send
V2 removing the messages completely.
