Or > just dma_set_coherent_mask()? It depends on what kind of DMA transfers you're going to do. For streaming transfers (the ones that use dma_map_single() or dma_map_sg(), for example), you need to call dma_set_mask(). For coherent transfers (the ones that use dma_alloc_coherent() or dma_pool_create()), you need to call dma_set_coherent_mask(). If you want to do both kinds of transfers then you need to call both routines.
