Why do you keep deleting this statement? The driver still uses the
DMA-coherent memory as a workaround. Your solution doesn't solve the
problem completely. This is another workaround. One more time: the
correct solution would be to allocate a 32-bit address or some range
within the 4GB PCIe bus memory with no _RAM_ or some other IO behind.
Your solution relies on the platform firmware/glue-driver doing that,
which isn't universally applicable. So please don't drop the comment.

This is inferred from the code below. So drop it.

Please merge it into the first part of the comment as like: "Permit
the platforms to override the MSI target address if they have a free
PCIe-bus memory specifically reserved for that."

This is easily inferred from the code below. So drop it.

Note this is a physical address for which even zero value might be
valid. In this case it's the address of the PCIe bus space for which
AFAICS zero isn't reserved for something special.

I guess this can be done but in a bit clumsy way. Like this:

	ret = dma_set_coherent_mask(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32)) ||
	      !dmam_alloc_coherent(dev, sizeof(u64), &pp->msi_data, GFP_KERNEL);
	if (ret) {
		dev_warn(dev, "Failed to allocate 32-bit MSI target address\n");

		dma_set_coherent_mask(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64));
		ret = !dmam_alloc_coherent(dev, sizeof(u64), &pp->msi_data, GFP_KERNEL);
		if (ret) {
			dev_err(dev, "Failed to allocate MSI target address\n");
			return -ENOMEM;
		}
	}

Not sure whether it's much better than what Ajay suggested but at
least it has a single warning string describing the error, and we can
drop the unused msi_vaddr variable.
