Your driver has absolutely not business knowing this.

No, it doesn't.  You can query the output from dma_get_required_mask
to optimize for the DMA addresses you get, and otherwise you simply
set the maximum dma mask you support.  That is about the control you
get, and nothing else is a drivers business.
