I gave it some more thought, and concluded that the size that gets passed
down is not really the right value to be compared to a mask if the dma-capable
area starts at a nonzero bus address.

In your case, bus addresses 0x80000000-0xffffffff are valid for DMA, so
the mask must be 0xffffffff to forbid any DMA to addresses larger than
0x100000000, not 0x7fffffff which would not be enough to cover any RAM.

I guess the dma_mask should be 'min((*dev->dma_mask), dma_base + size - 1)'
here.
