This is the default coherent mask. If you call this function, you
should normally check the return value, or call dma_set_mask first,
which you apparently don't do here, and in another place in this
patch.
By "This is the default mask" do you mean it shouldn't be called at
all ? Cause I ran into some trouble when not calling this in my
atmel-hlcdc driver.
We used to get this wrong in the of_platform code, but it should
work now.

Actually, in my case the platform device is created by the MFD core
which seems to let the coherent_dma_mask uninitialized.
That may well be different, but it seems like a good idea to allow
the MFD core to set this up as well.

In general, we expect that devices that are capable of doing DMA
start with a 32-bit mask for both dma_mask and dma_coherent_mask,
and a driver that requires a smaller masks or wants a larger mask
has to call the appropriate interface to set these, and check the
return value.
so I think we can use dma_set_mask_and_coherent(...) to set dma_mask and dma_coherent_mark
at the same time, and check the return value.
