Why is this needed?

ahci_imx.c calls ahci_platform_init_host(), which calls
dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent():
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.10/drivers/ata/libahci_platform.c#L750-L756

Should this code perhaps look more like:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.10/drivers/ata/ahci.c#L1048-L1054

where we set it to 64 or 32 bit explicitly.

Does this solve your problem:
