Ah, so this was for a device that gets probed from DT? Yes, then no
change is needed here at all.

Note that I'm working on a patch set to change the DT initialization to
be a little smarter about the mask. Specifically any device whose parent
has a smaller dma-ranges window than 4GB needs to start out with the
smaller mask, and the dma_set_mask function that is called to allow 64-bit
DMA on a device will check if the bus can actually support it.
