I don't see the clear strategy for setting DMA mask as well.

Lets consider DT boot method example:
1. SMMUv2 supports 48bit translation and 1:1 address map
dma-ranges = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x00010000 0x0>;
and we are adding PCI device:

pci_device_add -> DMA_BIT_MASK(32) by default
pci_dma_configure
of_dma_configure -> reads dma-ranges and calculates 48bit DMA mask,
but it picks minimum, we stay with DMA_BIT_MASK(32)

now PCI dev turns out to be e1000e NIC:
e1000_probe
dma_set_mask_and_coherent -> tries to set DMA_BIT_MASK(64)
dma_set_mask -> there is no set_dma_mask ops for SMMUv2 so we let
it be DMA_BIT_MASK(64). From that point on, we let to use memory which
SMMUv2 cannot work with.

Does lack of set_dma_mask is the only missing thing here?

Thanks,
Tomasz
