What are the two possible solutions?

Right when CONFIG_HAS_DMA, if not it returns 0. Perhaps we
can ignore CONFIG_HAS_DMA=n for this for this discussion.

If understand correctly the problem happens only when SWIOTLB
is enabled on client or host?

The following combinations are possible:

SWILTLB enabled on client and disabled on host - rate limited?
SWILTLB enabled on client and enabled on host - rate limited?
SWILTLB disabled on client and enabled on host - rate limited?
SWILTLB disabled on client and disabled on host - not a problem
