Yes, that was my point.  Setting size to 0x7fffffffffffffffULL
affects several places.  Another potential location (based only
on the function header comment, not from reading the code) is
iommu_dma_init_domain().  The header comment says:

    * @base and @size should be exact multiples of IOMMU page granularity to
    * avoid rounding surprises.

I have not read enough context to really understand of_dma_configure(), but
it seems there is yet another issue in how the error return case from
of_dma_get_range() is handled (with the existing code, as well as if
my patch gets accepted).  An error return value can mean _either_
there is no dma-ranges property _or_ "an other problem occurred".  Should
the "an other problem occurred" case be handled by defaulting size to
a value based on dev->coherent_dma_mask (the current case) or should the
attempt to set up the DMA configuration just fail?
