Timur,

I think, the device driver is responsible for setting the right DMA_MASK based on the underlying hardware capability if your driver wants to support 64bit DMA.

Example code in drivers/usb/host/xhci.c:

        /* Set dma_mask and coherent_dma_mask to 64-bits,
         * if xHC supports 64-bit addressing */
        if (HCC_64BIT_ADDR(xhci->hcc_params) &&
                        !dma_set_mask(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64))) {
                xhci_dbg(xhci, "Enabling 64-bit DMA addresses.\n");
                dma_set_coherent_mask(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64));
        } else {
                /*
                 * This is to avoid error in cases where a 32-bit USB
                 * controller is used on a 64-bit capable system.
                 */
                retval = dma_set_mask(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));

I believe dma-ranges is supposed to be in the bus (parent) node.

Maybe I'm just going to be perpetually confused by dma-ranges, but how can I specify that the emac has a different DMA range from another SOC device, if dma-ranges is in the parent node?

The EMAC itself is capable of 64-bit DMA internally (I should have included a dma_set_mask call with DMA_BIT_MASK(64) in the driver). However, the platform typically limits this range. On FSM9900 and QDF2432, it's 32 bits. On the next server chip, it'll be the full 64 bits. I need some way to handle that.
