Looks to me like those two checks above need to be a:

void sme_check_mask(struct device *dev, u64 mask)
{
if (!sme_me_mask)
return;

/* Since mask is unsigned, this can only be true if SME is active */
if (mask < (((u64)sme_me_mask << 1) - 1))
dev_warn(dev, "SME is active, device will require DMA bounce buffers\n");
}

which gets called and sme_dma_mask() is not really needed.
