When calculating the DMA mask from the address limit provided by the
firmware, we add one to the ilog2() of the end address, and pass the
result to DMA_BIT_MASK().

For an end address that is not a power-of-2 minus 1, this will result
in the mask to be wider than the limit, and cover memory that is not
addressable by the device. Instead, we should add 1 to 'end' before
taking the log, so that a limit of, say, 0x3fffffff gets translated
to a mask of 30, but any value below it gets translated to 29.

Need Robin's feedback on this - I was looking at:

a7ba70f1787f ("dma-mapping: treat dev->bus_dma_mask as a DMA limit")

I assume current code is *intended* but I shall let Robin comment
on this.

Thanks,
Lorenzo

The device masks represent what bits the device is capable of driving, 
so rounding up is the correct and intended behaviour - if the 
interconnect address map imposes a non-power-of-two limit, say 3.75GB, 
and the device can physically access all of that, then claiming the 
device can't drive bit 31 and trying to prevent it from accessing the 
upper 1.75GB is nonsense.

Although TBH none of this really matters much any more - as long as the 
limit is set correctly nothing bad will happen, and drivers are expected 
to replace these default masks anyway. In fact ancient drivers that 
still don't explicitly set their masks will be assuming the defaults are 
32-bit, so replacing them with something potentially wider actually 
invites a whole other set of problems. In the case of 
of_dma_configure(), it kept the code that combines (*not* replaces) the 
default device masks with a limit-based mask because it didn't do any 
harm, but equally it should now be entirely unnecessary, and confusion 
like this seems like an argument for finally removing it.

Robin.

Fair enough.

Indeed :-)

Thanks for the explanation.
