I've bisected a boot failure (on a Firefly RK3288) to this commit.
AFAICT the problem is that I have (at least) two drivers which don't
call dma_set_mask() and therefore never initialise the new dma_need_sync
variable.

The specific drivers are "rockchip-drm" and "rk_gmac-dwmac". Is it a
requirement that all drivers engaging in DMA should call dma_set_mask()
- and therefore this has uncovered a bug in those drivers. Or is the
assumption that all drivers call dma_set_mask() faulty?

Thanks,

Steve
