Thinking further on this I think it is a bad idea to add a special
binding because the IP is not different. It is just that it is
wired differently on the TI SoC so DMA range is limited.

IMO the proper solution is to have the right dma-ranges property in the
device tree. However, SATA platform driver is doing the wrong thing
by overriding the dma masks.
i.e. in ahci_platform_init_host() in libahci_platform.c

         if (hpriv->cap & HOST_CAP_64) {
                 rc = dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64));
                 if (rc) {
                         rc = dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(dev,
                                                           DMA_BIT_MASK(32));
                         if (rc) {
                                 dev_err(dev, "Failed to enable 64-bit DMA.\n");
                                 return rc;
                         }
                         dev_warn(dev, "Enable 32-bit DMA instead of 64-bit.\n");
                 }
         }

This should be removed. Do you agree?

You can also see a similar in ahci_configure_dma_masks() with the XXX disclaimer
explaining that it is wrong.

static int ahci_configure_dma_masks(struct pci_dev *pdev, int using_dac)
{
         const int dma_bits = using_dac ? 64 : 32;
         int rc;

         /*
          * If the device fixup already set the dma_mask to some non-standard
          * value, don't extend it here. This happens on STA2X11, for example.
          *
          * XXX: manipulating the DMA mask from platform code is completely
          * bogus, platform code should use dev->bus_dma_limit instead..
          */
         if (pdev->dma_mask && pdev->dma_mask < DMA_BIT_MASK(32))
                 return 0;

         rc = dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(dma_bits));
         if (rc)
                 dev_err(&pdev->dev, "DMA enable failed\n");
         return rc;
}
