Add a helper function for device drivers to set DMA's max_seg_size.
Setting it to largest possible value lets DMA-mapping API always create
contiguous mappings in DMA address space. This is essential for all
devices, which use dma-contig videobuf2 memory allocator and shared
buffers.

When can this function be called with dev->dma_parms not NULL ?
When one loads a module with multimedia driver (which calls this
function), then unloads and loads it again. It is rather safe to have this
check.
Don't you have a much bigger problem in that case ? When you unload the module
the device will be unbound from the driver, causing the memory allocated by
devm_kzalloc to be freed. dev->dma_parms will then point to freed memory,
which will get reused by all subsequent calls to dma_get_max_seg_size(),
dma_get_max_seg_size() & co (including the ones in this function).

You are right. I've thought that devm resources are freed on device release not driver remove. Then probably the safest fix is to change devm_kzalloc back to
kzalloc.
