Sorry for delay, there was a day-off on my side.

As per my test results - with above change 
 dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(DMA_BIT_MASK(64)) and friends will succeed always.


=========== Test results:

==== Test case 1:
Input data:
- RAM: start = 0x80000000 size = 0x80000000
- CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=n and sizeof(phys_addr_t) = 4

a) NO changes:
 memory registered within memblock as:
   memory.cnt  = 0x1
   memory[0x0]     [0x00000080000000-0x000000fffffffe], 0x7fffffff bytes flags: 0x0

 max_pfn   = 0xFFFFF
 max_mapnr = 0x7FFFF

 dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)); -- succeeded

b) with change in __dma_supported():
        if (sizeof(mask) != sizeof(dma_addr_t) &&
            mask > (dma_addr_t)~0 &&
-           dma_to_pfn(dev, ~0) < max_pfn) {
+           dma_to_pfn(dev, ~0) < (max_pfn - 1)) {
                if (warn) {

 memory registered within memblock as:
   memory.cnt  = 0x1
   memory[0x0]     [0x00000080000000-0x000000fffffffe], 0x7fffffff bytes flags: 0x0

 max_pfn   = 0xFFFFF
 max_mapnr = 0x7FFFF

 dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)); -- succeeded


==== Test case 2:
Input data:
- RAM: start = 0x80000000 size = 0x80000000
- CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=y and sizeof(phys_addr_t) = 8

a) NO changes:
 memory registered within memblock as:
   memory.cnt  = 0x1
   memory[0x0]     [0x00000080000000-0x000000ffffffff], 0x80000000 bytes flags: 0x0

 max_pfn   = 0x100000
 max_mapnr = 0x80000

 dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)); -- failed

b) with change in __dma_supported():

            mask > (dma_addr_t)~0 &&
-           dma_to_pfn(dev, ~0) < max_pfn) {
