The problem here is that the capability bit states that the controller
itself claim to be able to deal with 64-bit addresses, which is probably
true. The thing that the struct device represents (the integrated
controller, on a bus in this SoC) doesn't.

The device model accurately handles this and carries a dma_mask that's
appropriate for the device in this system - the capability is not.

The system's limit is already communicated in hba->dev->dma_mask, but
the ufshcd driver overwrites this. I expect that this would make sense
if the device model claims we can do e.g. 40 bit addressing, but the
64-bit capability is not set in the controller - in which case ufshcd
would accurately lower this to 32-bits.


I'm not sure what to quirk here, but will look into this...
