So I think this needs to be __phys_to_dma() here. I only recently got a
system that had a device where the driver only supported 32-bit DMA and
found that when SME is active this returns 0 and causes the driver to fail
to initialize. This is because the SME encryption bit (bit 47) is part of
the check when using phys_to_dma(). During actual DMA when SME is active,
bounce buffers will be used for anything that can't meet the 48-bit
requirement. But for this test, using __phys_to_dma() should give the
desired results, right?

If you agree with this, I'll submit a patch to make the change. I missed
this in 4.19, so I'll need to submit something to stable, too. The only
issue there is the 4.20 fix won't apply cleanly to 4.19.

Thanks,
Tom
