This has been discussed before - in general it is difficult to pick an
arbitrary MSI address that is *guaranteed* not to overlap any valid DMA
address that somebody may try to use later. However there is a very easy
way to guarantee that the DMA API won't give anyone a particular DMA
address, which is to get an address directly from the DMA API and keep
it. Yes, that can technically be done with a streaming mapping *if* you
already have some memory allocated in a suitable physical location, but
coherent allocations are even more foolproof, simpler to clean up
(particularly with devres), and unlikely to be an issue on relevant
platforms (do any MIPS32 systems use this driver?)

No, in general drivers should always explicitly set their mask(s) and
check the return value to make sure DMA is possible at all before trying
any other DMA API calls. There's no guarantee that the default mask is
usable (e.g. some systems don't have any 32-bit addressable RAM), or
that it's even always 32 bits (due to crufty reasons of something
of_dma_configure() tried to do a long time ago).
Thanks,
Robin.
