Subtracting 1 is needed to get the highest valid DRAM address so it can
be compared to the highest address in the zone (zone_limit). Adding 1
is necessary to get the lowest address beyond the zone.

AFAICT this is the right thing here:

	arm64_dma_phys_limit = max_zone_phys(zone_dma_bits);
	max_zone_pfns[ZONE_DMA] = PFN_DOWN(arm64_dma_phys_limit);

max_zone_pfns[] max values are exclusive, i.e. the lowest PFN which is
_not_ within the zone.

It is also the right thing when arm64_dma_phys_limit is passed to
dma_contiguous_reserve().

It would be subtly broken if phys_addr_t could be a 32-bit integer, but
that's not possible on arm64.

In short, LGTM.
