Since commit 6ce0d2001692 ("ARM: dma: Use dma_pfn_offset for dma address translation"),
dma_to_pfn() already returns the PFN with the physical memory start offset
so we don't need to add it again.
This fixes USB mass storage lock-up problem on systems that can't do DMA
over the entire physical memory range (e.g.) Keystone 2 systems with 4GB RAM
can only do DMA over the first 2GB. [K2E-EVM].
What happens there is that without this patch SCSI layer sets a wrong
bounce buffer limit in scsi_calculate_bounce_limit() for the USB mass
storage device. dma_max_pfn() evaluates to 0x8fffff and bounce_limit
is set to 0x8fffff000 whereas maximum DMA'ble physical memory on Keystone 2
is 0x87fffffff. This results in non DMA'ble pages being given to the
USB controller and hence the lock-up.
NOTE: in the above case, USB-SCSI-device's dma_pfn_offset was showing as 0.
This should have really been 0x780000 as on K2e, LOWMEM_START is 0x80000000
and HIGHMEM_START is 0x800000000. DMA zone is 2GB so dma_max_pfn should be
0x87ffff. The incorrect dma_pfn_offset for the USB storage device is because
USB devices are not correctly inheriting the dma_pfn_offset from the
USB host controller. This will be fixed by a separate patch.
I'd like to hear from Santosh, as the author of the original change.
The original commit doesn't mention which platform it was intended for
or what the problem was, which would've been helpful.
From what I recollect, we did these changes to make the max pfn behave
same on ARM arch as other archs. This patch was evolved as part of
fixing the max*pfn assumption.
To me, the proposed patch _looks_ correct, because...

#define dma_max_pfn(dev) dma_max_pfn(dev)
By doing this change I hope we don't break other drivers on Keystone so
am not sure about the change.
dma_to_pfn() returns the page frame number referenced from physical
address zero - the default implementation of dma_to_pfn() is
bus_to_pfn(), which is __phys_to_pfn(x), which is just x >> PAGE_SHIFT.
The other thing about dma_to_pfn() is that it should return a
zero-referenced PFN number, where PFN 0 = physical address 0.
If there is some offset for keystone2, that should be taken care of
via "dev->dma_pfn_offset", and not offsetting the return value from
dma_to_pfn().
So I'm 99.9% convinced that the proposed change is correct.
I will got with that then :-) and take my objection back. Just
saying that if there other breakages which I can't recollect now,
those drivers needs to be patched as well.
