dma_set_mask_and_coherent() should never fail when the mask is >= 32bit, unless the architecture has no DMA support. So no need check for the error and also no need to set dma_set_mask_and_coherent(32) as a fallback. Even if dma_set_mask_and_coherent(48) fails due to the lack of DMA support (theoretically), then dma_set_mask_and_coherent(32) will also fail for the same reason. So the fallback doesn't make sense. Due to the above reasons, let's simplify the code by setting the streaming and coherent DMA mask to 48 bits.
