We used to get this wrong in the of_platform code, but it should
work now.

That may well be different, but it seems like a good idea to allow
the MFD core to set this up as well.

In general, we expect that devices that are capable of doing DMA
start with a 32-bit mask for both dma_mask and dma_coherent_mask,
and a driver that requires a smaller masks or wants a larger mask
has to call the appropriate interface to set these, and check the
return value.
