I have a network driver that is impacted by this code, so thank you
for posting this. (See
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg106249.html).

One one SOC, the driver needs to set the mask to 32 bits.  On another
SOC, it needs to set it to 64 bits.  On device tree, the driver will
use dma-ranges.

In your patches, where is coherent_dma_mask initialized?  I found this
code in add_smmu_platform_device(), but I think this is setting the
mask for the IOMMU driver, not the individual devices.  Either way, I
don't understand where the correct value is going to be overridden.

+       /*
+        * Set default dma mask value for the table walker,
+        * to be overridden on probing with correct value.
+        */
+       *pdev->dev.dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32);
+       pdev->dev.coherent_dma_mask = *pdev->dev.dma_mask;
