Rafael, can you offer any thoughts on this:

PCI drivers that want to use DMA might call pci_set_master() in the pm
resume callback.  Some drivers (like sdhci-pci) also, presumably out of
convenience, set the DMA mask at the same time.  The question is: is it OK
instead to set the DMA mask just once during probe, or is there some other
reason the DMA mask needs to be set every time during resume?
