Why don't we change that driver[1] to not use page_pool_get_dma_addr() ?

[1] drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/dwmac-rk.c

I took a closer look and it seems the driver have struct
stmmac_rx_buffer in which is stored the dma_addr it gets from
page_pool_get_dma_addr().

See func: stmmac_init_rx_buffers

static int stmmac_init_rx_buffers(struct stmmac_priv *priv,
struct dma_desc *p,
int i, gfp_t flags, u32 queue)
{

if (!buf->page) {
buf->page = page_pool_dev_alloc_pages(rx_q->page_pool);
if (!buf->page)
return -ENOMEM;
buf->page_offset = stmmac_rx_offset(priv);
}
[...]

buf->addr = page_pool_get_dma_addr(buf->page) + buf->page_offset;

stmmac_set_desc_addr(priv, p, buf->addr);
[...]
}

I question if this driver really to use page_pool for storing the
dma_addr as it just extract it and store it outside page_pool?

@Ilias it looks like you added part of the page_pool support in this
driver, so I hope you can give a qualified guess on:
How much work will it be to let driver do the DMA-map itself?
(and not depend on the DMA-map feature provided by page_pool)
