Setting the mask is a probe/init type event, so I think not having the
_once() would be better so that all devices that set a mask to something
less than the SME encryption mask would be identified. This isn't done
for every DMA, etc.

Device drivers don't supply set_dma_mask() since that is part of the
dma_map_ops structure. The fm10k_pf.c file function is unrelated to this
(it's part of an internal driver structure). The dma_map_ops structure
is setup by the arch or an iommu.
