In that case, for systems supporting masks greater than 32-bit, IMO,
they should be able to handle the mask properly via DT. Without
disturbing legacy code, this is one solution that can be considered.
Requesting you to give your opinion on this, if it is acceptable we will
submit formal patch for this.

There are 2 issues here. First being, the 32-bit limitation for the
device dma_mask duringÂdevice registration. You have already suggested
one approach for this to set from driver itself. IMO, this would require
another DT node property addition for any individual IP. As same driver
is being used in another SoC where, it may not need more than
32-bit/64-bit dma_mask.

For the SoC concerned here, there are multiple IPs which are sharing the
36-bit DATA bus. If of_dma_configure" takes care of assigning the
dma_mask properly from "dma-ranges" DT property, it would solve this
issue and driver's do not need to set this explicitly either via
hard-coding or through another DT property. For this we suggest code
snippet as given above.

The second problem is the XHCI overrides dma_mask toÂ32-bit or 64-bit.
During the device registration, the DWC3 deviceÂget the default 32-bit
dma_mask. This DWC3 serves as the parent device for XHCI device, which
also gets 32-bit dma_mask from inception. There areÂ2 places for the
xhci-device, whereÂthe dma_mask of the xhci-device is explicitly
modified to either 32-bit or 64-bit.

1) InÂ"drivers/usb/host/xhci-plat.c"ÂweÂhaveÂdma_maskÂsettingÂasÂbelow:

ÂÂ retÂ=Âdma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(sysdev,ÂDMA_BIT_MASK(64));

2) In "drivers/usb/host/xhci.c"Âfile,ÂhereÂweÂhaveÂcodeÂas:

ÂÂ dma_set_coherent_mask(dev,ÂDMA_BIT_MASK(64));

So, even if the platform sets the dma_mask properly to 36-bit, the xhci
driver overrides it to 32-bit or 64-bit. This can be fixed in the xhci
driver by checking if the dma_mask is already getting set in the parent
driver. For this we have not yet submitted the change, as in this case
of_dma_configure needs to be fixed first.

However, the proposed solution (current patch) is leveraging
theÂdma_mask fromÂbus_dma_mask, which is set from the dma-ranges
properly, and this case we don't need any changes in of_dma_configure.

For the SoC concerned here, it is a 64-bit ARM system, which has many
IPs connectedÂvia the 36-bit DATA bus.
