I think this bug has been present since the initial version of the driver, but
this failure mode has probably never been tested before.

It only got triggered by the combination of commits 6c2fb2ea76361da9
("of/device: Set bus DMA mask as appropriate") and b4ebe6063204da58
("dma-direct: implement complete bus_dma_mask handling"), which is being
fixed by "of/device: Really only set bus DMA mask when
appropriate" (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10670177/).

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
