I am trying to find out how the current fix that is in the tree is
working out for the original bug reporter.
He is yet to get back. But I do understand, irrespective of that
finding, you have a problem that is affecting you.
I just don't know why you need the regular DMA mask also to be forced
32b on your setup.
I will check again with the original reporter and discuss with my team
and try to give a solution.
Can you please mention your model and the make again? Let me see if I
can find one in our lab or near me.
