Ok, but how can it work if we set the DMA mask of the device object of 
the plaform_device (via dma_set_mask_and_coherent in the probe() function)
and do the actual mapping with a different device object? I dont know much about
 the low level dma handling but I can imagine that the mask is required to
do the mapping correctly.
