Hi,

When upgrading from v5.0 -> v5.1 on G4 PowerBook, I noticed WLAN does
not work anymore:

[ 42.004303] b43legacy-phy0: Loading firmware version 0x127, patch level 14 (2005-04-18 02:36:27)
[ 42.184837] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Chip initialized
[ 42.184873] b43legacy-phy0 ERROR: The machine/kernel does not support the required 30-bit DMA mask

The same happens with the current mainline.

powerpc/dma: remove dma_nommu_dma_supported

This function is largely identical to the generic version used
everywhere else. Replace it with the generic version.

Aaro,

Please try the attached patch. I'm not really pleased with it and I will continue to determine why the fallback to a 30-bit mask fails, but at least this one works for me.
