Re: [PATCH] usbip: set the dma mask to 64bit default for vhci-driver

[Zongmin Zhou]

Dear Greg and Christoph:

This patch is the simple solution for the issue described in below link:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250219092555.112631-1-min_halo@xxxxxxx/

This issue has been discussed at length with Shuah.

As Christoph said,vhci-hcd is a virtual hci,
but it serves as a bridge to connect virtual USB devices to the real USB 
controller.
Since the commit d74ffae8b8dd is applied on kernel v5.3,
the virtual USB devices's max_sectors size is limited since v5.3.

Just because on vhci-hcd, the dma mask setting follows the platform 
device default setting(32-bit).

So I want to get the real USB controller dma mask to set on vhci-hcd 
driver，
or set to 64 by default,to fix the max_sectors limited issue
on virtual USB device since the commit d74ffae8b8dd applied.

Thanks.
