I think Russell only fixed incorrect handling of masks, not missing handling.

There's really some core changes needed to fix this and I'd guess
there are lots of other cases of missing dma_mask. The problem is
platform devices don't create a mask to assign to dma_mask in the
first place. I think the right solution is assigning dma_mask to
&coherent_dma_mask by default as Russell did for AMBA devices. I don't
know if doing that would break anything or not.
