Hi,

I have some text corrections. No idea if the updates
are correct or not.

  Actually                                                      fails,

                                will fail for the same reason.

                                          returns failure.

   dma_set_mask_and_coherent        returns failure when DMA_BIT_MASK(64) <does what?>. Typical
