Yeah this should probably use %pa for the printf specifier.

But note this exposes underlying bug in the earlycon support, because
that was originally written without 32/64-mixed bitness in mind; ie.,
the address is parsed and handled as unsigned long in most places.

Well, this is a little bit tricky because "earlycon" early parameter with
missing /chosen/stdout-path node is no longer an error, since ACPI may be
specifying the earlycon instead.
