Hi Arnd,

I think you actually have to use platform_device_register_full() to pass
a DMA mask here: As I understand it, the dma_set_mask_and_coherent()
call in the driver fails if the device is not already marked as dma
capable by having an initial mask set.

I'll take a look at that - if true, this requires the amiga-a3000-scsi
platform device set-up be changed in the same way (the gvp11 and a2091
drivers inherit the DMA mask from the Zorro bus default, so ought to
work OK).

I think we are good with using platform_device_register_simple():

setup_pdev_dma_masks() sets the DMA mask to 32 bit when allocating a new platform device, and platform_device_register_full() only changes that when passed in a non-zero mask in pdevinfo.

platform_device_register_simple() leaves the pdevinfo mask zero, so the 32 bit default set in setup_pdev_dma_masks() survives.

Verified by having pata_falcon print the default DMA mask (0xffffffff), then setting a 24 bit DMA mask and reading it back.

That did uncover an error I made in the gvp11 driver - the devices' default DMA mask there is given as a 32 bit integer, but the DMA API needs 64 bit. Will send a separate fix for that.

The way this normally works is that the device gets created with a mask
that reflects the capabilities of the bus, while the driver sets a mask
based on what it wants to program into the device, and the dma-mapping
interfaces ensure that we only use the intersection of those.
