Thanks for putting this into code!

As you commented later, the dma_supported check indeed needs to happen
after the masking.

There is an interesting side problem here: the dma mask points to
coherent_dma_mask for all devices probed from DT, so this breaks
if we have any driver that sets them to different values. It is a
preexisting problem them.

If no dma-ranges are present, we should assume that the bus only supports
32-bit DMA, or we could make it architecture specific. It would probably
be best for arm64 to require a dma-ranges property for doing any DMA
at all, but we can't do that on arm32 any more now.

I would change the comment to clarify that we are actually changing
the dma_mask here as well.

As you mentioned in another mail in this thread, we wouldn't be
able to suuport this case on arm64.
