I merged this patch with the above change. Thanks.

I think we should, at least until we implement support for
dev->dma_pfn_offset. I'm not sure about iommu though, maybe there are
working configurations with dma_base != 0.

We have a default mask set up in of_dma_configure() based on size and
dma_base. Can we check the new mask against the default one?
