It seems that the original intention here was to create a device for each value of dma_mask in
hw descriptors. That is, for 2711 which has 32 and 40 bit channels, the DT should look something
like this:

	dma: dma-controller@7e007000 {
		interrupts = <...>;
		brcm,dma-channel-mask = <0x7f5>;
		compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-dma";
		interrupt-names = "...";
		reg = <0x7e007000 0xb00>;
		#dma-cells = <0x01>;
	};      

	dma40: dma-controller@7e007b00 {
		interrupts = <...>;     
		brcm,dma-channel-mask = <0x3000>;
		compatible = "brcm,bcm2711-dma";
		interrupt-names = "...";
		reg = <0x00 0x7e007b00 0x00 0x400>;
		#dma-cells = <0x01>;
	};

Two devices dma0 and dma1 will be created, each one serving a different mask and the call
to dma_set_mask_and_coherent(..., dma_mask) on the specific device will be consistent. Please
note that of course "brcm,dma-channel-mask" from DT only refers to what channels are available
to be used in the kernel, while dma_mask parameter of the aforementioned dma_set_mask_and_coherent()
call is the addressing mask enforced by the driver, and its the same for each specific device
(dma0 or dma1).

Many thanks,
