Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: mvpp2: avoid bouncing buffers

WE should basically never have dev->dma_mask = &dev->coherent_dma_mask,
so until that is the case you are doctoring around the symptoms and
not the problem.

Does the patch below help your case?

Subject: driver core: initialize a default DMA mask for platform device

We still treat devices without a DMA mask as defaulting to 32-bits for
both mask, but a few releases ago we've started warning about such
cases, as they require special cases to work around this sloppyness.
Add a dma_mask field to struct platform_object so that we can initialize
the dma_mask pointer in struct device and initialize both masks to
32-bits by default.  Architectures can still override this in
arch_setup_pdev_archdata if needed.

Note that the code looks a little odd with the various conditionals
because we have to support platform_device structures that are
statically allocated.
