Then you wonder why I wrote it as a separate patch. Why is that
value set to 0 (is that because that's the insane default ?) ?
It is a firmware bug and if things work ok with this patch applied
either this patch contains a bug or drivers override the DMA masks
to cancel out this patch effects.

Please fix the firmware.
