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.
No. If a system has devices naturally capable of >32-bit DMA, and memory
at >32-bit system physical addresses, but only a 32-bit interconnect in
between, that needs to be described properly in Devicetree/ACPI, not
hacked around with completely non-portable kernel bodges.

arm64: dts: imx8mm: specify dma-ranges
DMA addressing capabilities on i.MX8MM are limited by the interconnect,
same as on i.MX8MQ. Add dma-ranges to the the peripheral bus to let
the kernel know about this.

Somenthing like this should already do it?
