NACK.

Passing an invalid size to arch_setup_dma_ops() is only part of the problem.
size is also used in of_dma_configure() before calling arch_setup_dma_ops():

        dev->coherent_dma_mask = min(dev->coherent_dma_mask,
                                     DMA_BIT_MASK(ilog2(dma_addr + size)));
        *dev->dma_mask = min((*dev->dma_mask),
                             DMA_BIT_MASK(ilog2(dma_addr + size)));

which would be incorrect for size == 0xffffffffffffffffULL when
dma_addr != 0.  So the proposed fix really is not papering over
the base problem very well.

I agree that the proper solution involves passing a mask instead
of a size to arch_setup_dma_ops().
