If this SysMMU version is capable of addressing more than 32 bits, then 
exynos_iommu_probe_device() should set its DMA masks appropriately.

(as a side note since I looked, the use of PAGE_SIZE/PAGE_SHIFT in the 
driver looks wrong, since I can't imagine that the hardware knows 
whether Linux is using 4KB, 16KB or 64KB and adjusts itself accordingly...)
