I'm not sure I agree there. Granted, there exist many more problematic
aspects than are dealt with here (I've got more patches cooking to sort
out some of the other issues we have with dma-ranges), but considering
size specifically:
- It is not possible to explicitly specify a range with a size of 2^64
in DT. If someone does specify a size of 0, they've done a silly thing
and should not be surprised that it ends badly.
- It *is* perfectly legitimate for bus code (or a previous device
driver, once we start coming here at probe time) to have set a device's
DMA mask to 0xffffffffffffffffULL. If this code then blindly overflows
and infers an invalid size of 0 from that, breaking things in the
process, that is this code's fault alone. It just so happens that
nothing managed to trigger the latent problem until patch #7 here shakes
up the callsites.
Yes, wacky impossible base + size combinations in DT were a theoretical
problem before, and remain a theoretical problem, but also fall into the
"how did you ever expect this to work?" category. There's certainly
plenty more we can do to improve the DT parsing/validation, but that
still doesn't apply to this path where the information is *not* coming
from the DT at all.

Having started writing that patch too, I can tell you it's a big bugger
touching multiple architectures and fixing up various drivers doing
stupid things, hence why I'm happy with this point fix being the lesser
of two evils in terms of not holding up this mostly-orthogonal series.
