I don't understand this yet, what did the kernel previously
do to that allowed the correct DMA mapping when a wrong
address was set in the DT?

Are you sure the actually coherent? I'm not aware of any other
ARM9 based SoC with cache-coherent DMA. What is the DMA master
that accesses

Which device is the actual DMA master here? The "dma-coherent"
property sets the pl110 as coherent, but the dma-ranges property
would refer to the port, right?

In your description, you say that you set a 1:1 map, but this is
not what you seem to be setting here. Instead you map DMA address
zero to point to the beginning of RAM.
