I have a network driver that is impacted by this code, so thank you
for posting this. (See
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg106249.html).

One one SOC, the driver needs to set the mask to 32 bits. On another
SOC, it needs to set it to 64 bits. On device tree, the driver will
use dma-ranges.

That's the wrong way to look at it - the driver isn't _using_
dma-ranges, you're merely relying on the OF code setting the _default_
DMA mask differently based on the property. If your driver is in the
minority of those which actually care about DMA masks, then it should be
calling dma_set_mask_and_coherent() appropriately and not relying on the
default.

I don't see the clear strategy for setting DMA mask as well.

Lets consider DT boot method example:
1. SMMUv2 supports 48bit translation and 1:1 address map
dma-ranges = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x00010000 0x0>;
and we are adding PCI device:

pci_device_add -> DMA_BIT_MASK(32) by default
pci_dma_configure
of_dma_configure -> reads dma-ranges and calculates 48bit DMA mask,
but it picks minimum, we stay with DMA_BIT_MASK(32)

now PCI dev turns out to be e1000e NIC:
e1000_probe
dma_set_mask_and_coherent -> tries to set DMA_BIT_MASK(64)
dma_set_mask -> there is no set_dma_mask ops for SMMUv2 so we let

Sorry, there is no .set_dma_mask ops for ARM64 (not SMMUv2)
