Subject: [PATCH] ATHEROS-ALX: Use dma_set_mask_and_coherent and fix a bug

 1. For the 64 bits dma mask use dma_set_mask_and_coherent instead of
 dma_set_mask and dma_set_coherent_mask.

 2. For the 32 bits dma mask dma_set_coherent_mask is only called if
 dma_set_mask fails, which is unusual. Assuming this as a bug, fixes
 it by replacing calls to dma_set_mask and dma_set_coherent_mask by a
 call to dma_set_coherent_mask.
