Certainly not, doing that would be broken for a number of reasons:
- dev->dma_mask is a pointer, a driver should not reassign that
- the device may have been set up for a bus that requires a smaller mask
that is already set, changing the mask would cause data corruption
- setting just the dma mask but not coherent mask is wrong
- setting the dma mask can fail, e.g. if the mask is smaller than the
smallest memory zone, so you have to check the return value.
