So we could change this to:

config ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT
	depends on ARM_LPAE

and let platforms select it.

The x86 approach is to have another HIGHMEM64G config option for
systems with more than 4GB of RAM and ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT is selected
automatically. But this comes under the assumption that there is a 1:1
mapping between phys and bus addresses.
