But I have a question to all:

+		dev->dev.dma_mask = &dev->dev.coherent_dma_mask;

this will also work the same way for ARM64

- But of_dma_configure() still have code which does:
	dev->coherent_dma_mask &= mask;
	*dev->dma_mask &= mask;

As result, DMA mask supplied from DT will always be truncated
  to 32 bit for platform devices. for example:

soc0: soc0 {
         compatible = "simple-bus";
         #address-cells = <2>;
         #size-cells = <2>;
         ranges;
+        dma-ranges = <0 0 0 0 0x10000 0>;

^ 48 bit DMA mask expected to be generated and assigned.

But real mask will be DMA_BIT_MASK(32). As result, any
DMA capable driver will have be modified to do dma_set_xxx_mask(),
which disregards DT DMA configuration (especially for HW modules
which are used on ARM32 and ARM64).

That has always been the case. Drivers which want to use larger-than-32-bit masks *must* explicitly say so. The issue that the DT dma-ranges (and ACPI equivalents) cannot be preserved in the device DMA masks is the entire purpose of this series. At the moment there's only a couple of point fixes for specific places with known problems, but this is just the start of some ongoing work.

Could it be considered to do one the changes below?

1) assign mask in case of dt

No, because that leads to a risk of DMA address truncation in hardware (and thus at worst random memory corruption) when drivers expect the default mask to be 32-bit and fail to explicitly set it as such.

2) use BITS_PER_LONG for default DMA mask for of_platform devices

3) ...

Remember when we found out how many drivers expect the default mask to be 32-bit and fail to explicitly set it as such, because they all broke when some chump set it to 0 in linux-next for a day? ;)
