    dma-mapping: treat dev->bus_dma_mask as a DMA limit · a7ba70f1

    Using a mask to represent bus DMA constraints has a set of limitations.
    The biggest one being it can only hold a power of two (minus one). The
    DMA mapping code is already aware of this and treats dev->bus_dma_mask
    as a limit. This quirk is already used by some architectures although
    still rare.
    
    With the introduction of the Raspberry Pi 4 we've found a new contender
    for the use of bus DMA limits, as its PCIe bus can only address the
    lower 3GB of memory (of a total of 4GB). This is impossible to represent
    with a mask. To make things worse the device-tree code rounds non power
    of two bus DMA limits to the next power of two, which is unacceptable in
    this case.
    
    In the light of this, rename dev->bus_dma_mask to dev->bus_dma_limit all
    over the tree and treat it as such. Note that dev->bus_dma_limit should
    contain the higher accessible DMA address.
