Fine, so given the following two distinct uses of
of_dma_configure(struct device *dev, struct device_node *np, bool ...):

- dev->of_node == np: Platform bus' typical use, we imperatively have to start
  parsing dma-ranges from np's DMA parent, as the device we're configuring
  might be a bus containing dma-ranges himself. For example a platform PCIe bus.

- dev->of_node != np: Here the bus is pulling some trick. The device might or
  might not be represented in DT and np might be a bus or a device. But one
  thing I realised is that device being configured never represents a memory
  mapped bus. Assuming this assumption is acceptable, we can traverse the DT
  tree starting from np and get a correct configuration as long as dma-ranges
  not being present is interpreted as a 1:1 mapping.

The resulting code, which I tested on an RPi4, Freescale Layerscape and passes
OF's unit tests, looks like this:

int of_dma_configure(struct device *dev, struct device_node *np, bool force_dma)
{
	u64 dma_addr, paddr, size = 0;
	struct device_node *parent;
	u64 mask;
	int ret;

	if (!np)
		return -ENODEV;

	parent = of_node_get(np);
	if (dev->of_node == parent)
		parent = of_get_next_dma_parent(np);

	ret = of_dma_get_range(parent, &dma_addr, &paddr, &size);
	of_node_put(parent);

	[...]
}

Would that be acceptable?

Nicolas
