Subject: ALSA: hda - allow 40 bit DMA mask for NVidia devices

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

commit 3ab7511eafdd5c4f40d2832f09554478dfbea170 upstream.

Commit 49d9e77e72cf ("ALSA: hda - Fix system panic when DMA > 40 bits
for Nvidia audio controllers") simply disabled any DMA exceeding 32
bits for NVidia devices, even though they are capable of performing
DMA up to 40 bits. On some architectures (such as arm64), system memory
is not guaranteed to be 32-bit addressable by PCI devices, and so this
change prevents NVidia devices from working on platforms such as AMD
Seattle.

Since the original commit already mentioned that up to 40 bits of DMA
is supported, and given that the code has been updated in the meantime
to support a 40 bit DMA mask on other devices, revert commit 49d9e77e72cf
and explicitly set the DMA mask to 40 bits for NVidia devices.
