Since commit 6c2fb2ea7636 ("of/device: Set bus DMA mask as appropriate"),
the upstream bus can constraint device DMA range. Respect that constraint
and do not change the device DMA masks if they were already set.

This is applicable e.g. on systems where the PCIe controller cannot
expose
the full address space range. Such a system may have a 64bit CPU with
DRAM
mapped both below and above the 32bit address space, yet the PCIe devices
can not perform DMA directly to/from the DRAM range above the 32bit
limit.
Hence, for such setup to work, all the buffers must exist below the 32bit
limit.

At least for DT platforms, the device masks are always going to be set
to some initial value, which will most commonly just be the 32-bit
default - that should not prevent the driver from setting wider masks if
that's what the device really supports (in fact there are some patches
queued in which we're now starting to formalise that properly).

Are you seeing a problem with a DMA API backend failing to respect
bus_dma_mask?

Yes, the DMA mask gets overridden here to 64bit one, which on the R-Car
Gen3 with PCI with 32bit addressing limitation makes the AHCI driver
fail (and NVMe driver, and xHCI PCI etc). All those PCI devices fail the
same way because they override the DMA mask.

Right, but whoever *interprets* the device masks after the driver has overridden them should be taking the (smaller) bus mask into account as well, so the question is where is *that* not being done correctly?

Robin.
