Thanks, can you make this a proper patch submission along with a Fixes:
tag that is:

Fixes: 2013a4b684b6 ("arm64: dts: broadcom: clear the warnings caused by
empty dma-ranges")

Yes, that would be helpful, though I would appreciate a better description
that explains what is actually going on: is it the device or the bus that
has the 32-bit limitation, and if it is indeed a bug in the device, why do
you pretend that this is a 64-bit device on a 32-bit bus instead (this
could also use a comment in the dts file)?

Sorry for the delay in reply. Bharat finally got time to do some investigation to confirm the following:

These USB controllers indeed can address 64-bit. However, on the bus internally, only 40-bits are connected to the interconnect of CCN. As a result, the 'dma-ranges' should be modified to address 40-bit in size.

We also have a somewhat related question, is it true that since v5.10, defining of 'dma-ranges' on the bus node where its child device node has implication of IOMMU usage (through 'iommus' or 'iommu-map') is now mandatory? My understanding is that the 'dma-ranges' in this scheme will define the IOVA address to system address mapping required by all devices on that bus. Please help to confirm if my understanding is correct.

Thanks,

Ray
