Bug when mapping designware PCIe MSI msg

Hi All,

I've been debugging a PCIe dma mapping issue and I believe I have tracked the
bug down to how the designware PCIe host driver is mapping the MSI msg. In
commit 07940c369a6b ("PCI: dwc: Fix MSI page leakage in suspend/resume") [1],
the PCIe driver was re-worked to drop allocating a page for the MSI msg in
favor of using an address from the driver data. Then in commit 660c486590aa
("PCI: dwc: Set 32-bit DMA mask for MSI target address allocation") [2],
a 32-bit DMA mask was enforced for this MSI msg address in order to support
both 32-bit and 64-bit MSI address capable hardware. Both of these changes
together expose a bug on hardware that supports an MSI address greather than
32-bits. For example, the Pixel 6 supports a 36-bit MSI address and therefore
calls:

dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(36));

Before [2], this was fine because getting an address for the driver data that
was less than or equal to 36-bits was common enough to not hit this issue, but
after [2] I started hitting the below DMA buffer overflow when the driver data
address was greater than 32-bits:

exynos-pcie-rc 14520000.pcie: DMA addr 0x000000088536d908+2 overflow (mask ffffffff, bus limit 0).

The underlying issue is that using the driver data (which can be a 64-bit
address) for the MSI msg mapping causes a DMA_MAPPING_ERROR when the dma mask
is less than 64-bits. I'm not familiar enough with the dma mapping code to
suggest a full-proof solution to solve this; however, I don't think reverting
[1] is a great solution since it addresses a valid issue and reverting [2]
doesn't actually solve the bug since the driver data address isn't restricted
by the dma mask.

I hope that helps explain the issue. Please let me know your thoughts on how we
should address this.

Thanks,
Will
