In current chipidea structure, the parent (glue layer) driver will not be
used for dma, udc/host driver uses dma mask from child (core layer), at core
layer we will do:


pdev->dev.dma_mask = dev->dma_mask; /* this device is parent */
dma_set_coherent_mask(&pdev->dev, dev->coherent_dma_mask);

Would you suggestion us a suitable way? Or it is ok we use just Antoine's way that
call dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32)) at parent
driver no matter dt or non-dt? Thanks.
