[PATCH] New config added to handle 64-bit systems with 32-bit DMA support

From: Alberto Secondi <alberto.secondi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The kernel assumes that 64-bit systems have 64-bit DMA support through
CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT. This is not always true; for example, several
iMX8 systems (verified on iMX8MM and iMX8MP) have DMA with only 32-bit support.
This results in several drivers requesting DMA_BIT_MASK(64), which causes
malfunctions, particularly when systems have more than 3GB of DRAM (verified
with the lan743x driver and iMX8 systems with 4GB of DRAM). Therefore, a new
config ARCH_64BIT_HAS_DMA32_ONLY was added to manage 64-bit systems with 32-bit
DMA, which adjusts DMA_BIT_MASK(n) accordingly.
