If the device *is* inherently 64-bit capable, then setting 64-bit masks
in the driver is correct - if a 64-bit IP block happens to have been
integrated with only 32 address bits wired up, but the system has memory
above the 32-bit boundary, then that should be described via
"dma-ranges", which should then end up being used to further constrain
the device masks internally to the DMA API.
