Kernel 5.10: Crash in __create_pgd_mapping, memory load of virtual address corresponding to fix address of PUD (0x5C7) causes "Internal error: synchronous external abort: 96000010 [#1] SMP"

in ARM64 Kernel there are Fix addresses to setup Kernel page-tables PGD(P4D), PUD, PMD and PTE. The Fix addresses are PUD-0x5C7 and PGD-0x5C8 https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.10/source/arch/arm64/include/asm/fixmap.h#L88, there is a Page-Shift in conversion from __fix_to_virt(), So the actual values are 0x5C8000 and 0x5C7000. These fix addresses don’t seem to be Physical addresses they are to get Fix Virtual addresses. Not able to find the Physical addresses associated with these Fix Virtual addresses, virt_to_phys() works on kernel logical addresses.

Is there a way to find the physical address mapping of these fix virtual addresses in kernel ? 

If physical addresses is found we can check is there any mapping CMN/NOC required in u-boot.

Below is the Core-dump, Crash(Internal Error) is at __create_pgd_mapping+0x234/0x778, the instruction is ldr x1, [x27] (f9400361). The value in X27 register is 0xfffffdfffe439000 corresponds to fix address 0x5C7.
