What configuration is the above dev->dma_mask checking supposed to handle?
Is it really needed? If not the current dma_set_mask_and_coherent() call
can be replaced by dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() one.

I was just trying to be safe and not always assuming that dev->dma_mask is pointing to the dev->coherent_dma_mask. If you think this is not necessary, I can remove this.

Shouldn't we try to set DMA masks to 32-bit ones on error (like it is done
in ahci_configure_dma_masks()) instead of failing the initialization?

I can also add the additional logic to try for 32-bit.

BTW It seems that after DMA masks handling is fixed in the generic AHCI
platform code the driver specific code in ahci_xgene.c can be removed.

I am including Loc Ho, Tuan Phan, and Suman Tripathi to help verifying if code could be removed. If so, I'll send out the change in V2.
