Thanks!

Off the top of my head, the LiteSDcard driver uses 64-bit CSR writes:
https://github.com/litex-hub/linux/blob/litex-rebase/drivers/mmc/host/litex_mmc.c#L403
and
https://github.com/litex-hub/linux/blob/litex-rebase/drivers/mmc/host/litex_mmc.c#L421

These are both DMA base-address registers that support rv64*.

Thanks,
