The code comes from the example in Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt.

I can rearrange if you prefer.

It doesn't exactly address the issue since with that patch DMA mask
wasn't set at all. This code would just make the driver fail with
-ENODEV instead of -ENOMEM.

To force a DMA mask I would have to set the DMA mask using
dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(). But as discussed with Robin it is safe
to assume that an initial mask is set by the bus code:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/892f9d14-e6fd-7b1b-d07b-af0be6e623fa@xxxxxxx

Setting the DMA mask on DT buses has been addressed by Robin with
"of/platform: Initialise default DMA masks". So everything should be
fine again.

I agree, other drivers need fixing too.
