For platform devices being populated via from DT you will pass:
of_platform_bus_create()
   of_platform_device_create_pdata()
     of_dma_configure()

Which calls of_dma_get_range() to acquire this information from the
dma-ranges property and set up the dma ops and properties.

This seems excessive. I have to create a platform bus just to configure the DMA mask? Most drivers just call dma_set_mask and give it a number, and that's not device-tree specific. I also need to come up with a way to get this to work on ACPI.

I just seems like a lot of work only because I need to determine at runtime what my DMA mask is. I also don't see any drivers that call of_dma_configure().
