Hi,

Some of the USB drivers are setting coherent_dma_mask & many others are 
not doing it.
 From the description present in the comment beside this field in 
device.h, I could not understand its real significance.

Can some one plz let me know its real need and use case where it is 
mandatory to use it?

Thanks,
Venu
