That's a very convoluted way to do this, for version 1 you
set coherent mask to 64 then override it.
why not

if (vm_dev->version == 1) {
dma_set_mask
dma_set_coherent_mask
} else {
dma_set_mask_and_coherent
}

if (rc)
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));

is there a chance it actually still might work?
