[PATCH] net: mvpp2: avoid bouncing buffers

[Brian Brooks]

Some memory regions used by this device need to share the same
upper 8 bits of the 40-bit bus address. Currently, a coherent
DMA mask of 32 bits is used so that dma_alloc_coherent() regions
have the same upper 8 bits. Packet buffers are not allocated via
DMA APIs, and the device does not require these memory regions
to have the same upper 8 bits. However, packet buffers are being
bounced during streaming mappings because streaming and coherent
DMA are using the same DMA mask, i.e. dev->dma_mask points to
dev->coherent_dma_mask.

Avoid bouncing packet buffers by ensuring streaming DMA uses a
mask of 40 bits and coherent DMA uses a mask of 32 bits. iperf3
shows throughput increases from 4.04 Gbps to 9.14 Gbps.
