Shouldn't this be handled in the platform code that instantiates the device,
i.e. in arch/m68k/mac/config.c:mac_platform_init()?

Cfr. commit f61e64310b75733d ("m68k: set dma and coherent masks for platform
FEC ethernets").

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
