Fortunately, there are not too many drivers that call platform_device_add
*and* try to set up a dma mask for the child device:

git grep -wl dma_mask drivers | xargs grep -wl 'platform_device_\(add\|register\)'

drivers/base/platform.c
drivers/bcma/main.c
drivers/eisa/virtual_root.c
drivers/mfd/mfd-core.c
drivers/mfd/omap-usb-host.c
drivers/misc/mic/card/mic_x100.c
drivers/platform/goldfish/pdev_bus.c
drivers/ssb/main.c
drivers/usb/chipidea/core.c
drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-exynos.c
drivers/usb/dwc3/host.c
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/bdc/bdc_pci.c
drivers/usb/host/bcma-hcd.c
drivers/usb/host/fsl-mph-dr-of.c
drivers/usb/host/ssb-hcd.c
drivers/usb/misc/ftdi-elan.c
drivers/usb/musb/blackfin.c
drivers/usb/musb/musb_dsps.c
drivers/usb/musb/omap2430.c
drivers/usb/musb/ux500.c

Most of these are probably never used with any nonstandard
DMA settings (IOMMU, cache coherency, offset, ...).

One thing we could possibly do is to go through these and
replace the hardcoded dma mask setup with of_dma_configure()
in all cases in which we actually use DT for probing, which
should cover the interesting cases.
