Retrieve DMA configuration from DT and setup platform device's DMA

We setup dma_pfn_offset using "dma-ranges" and dma_coherent_ops
using "dma-coherent" device tree properties.

The set_arch_dma_coherent_ops macro has to be defined by arch if
it supports coherent dma_ops. Otherwise, set_arch_dma_coherent_ops() is
declared as nop.

Perhaps an error is not the right return for the default case. The
default should probably be dma_addr and paddr equal to 0 and size 4GB.

The error code is needed here to properly distinguish the case when
there are no "dma-ranges" defined in DT. Also, I think, that
of_dma_get_range() shouldn't return any default values - It just
has to get data from DT. And the caller should decide what to do
with this data and how to handle error cases.

So, I prefer to keep behavior as is:
- in case of failure of_dma_get_range() will not touch values of
&dma_addr, &paddr, &size.

Fine, but that is not how of_dma_get_range currently behaves:

Yep. That's will be fixed as you've commented :)

address failed node(%s)\n",
+ __func__, dma_addr, np->full_name);
+ ret = -EINVAL;
+ }
