^this will always produce warning in case of platform-bus or if there are no bus driver.
even if DT contains correct definition of dma-range
	}

	if (!size && dev->coherent_dma_mask)

^ coherent_dma_mask is zero, so size will not be calculated
pls, ignore this particular comment

		size = max(dev->coherent_dma_mask, dev->coherent_dma_mask + 1);
	else if (!size)
		size = 1ULL << 32;

	dev->dma_pfn_offset = offset;

	/*

	 * set by the driver.
	 */
	mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(ilog2(dma_addr + size - 1) + 1);
	dev->bus_dma_mask = mask;
	dev->coherent_dma_mask &= mask;

^^ if nobody set coherent_dma_mask before it will stay null forever unless drivers
will overwrite it. Again even if DT has correct definition for dma-range.

That is intentional. Consider a 32-bit device on a bus with an upstream DMA range of 40 bits (which could easily happen with e.g. PCI). If the firmware code gives that device 40-bit DMA masks and the driver doesn't change them, then DMA is not going to work correctly. Therefore the firmware code cannot safely make {coherent_}dma_mask larger than the default value passed in, and if the default is 0 then that should be fixed in whatever code created the device, not worked around later.

Robin.


	*dev->dma_mask &= mask;

	coherent = of_dma_is_coherent(np);
	dev_dbg(dev, "device is%sdma coherent\n",
		coherent ? " " : " not ");
