Can you point to the code above where device->dev.dma_mask gets 
initialised between the initial kzalloc() and the call to 
of_dma_configure()? ;)

BTW, bus code shouldn't be calling dma_set_mask_and_coherent() on behalf 
of its children, that is for the individual drivers to do, if and when 
they intend to actually use DMA. Removing that here will save you 
needing to fix the memory leak as well...

Thanks,
Robin.
