Ok.

That won't solve the problems with the DT properties or the
dma configuration for PCI devices though.

As the comment above that code says, the default 32-bit mask is intentional,
and you need the driver to ask for the mask it wants using
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(), while the platform code should be able to use
dev->of_node to figure out whether that mask is supported.

Just setting the initial mask to something else based on what the parent
supports will not do the right thing elsewhere.
