Right.

Right. But that's only because I am sure the Baikal-T1 PCIe eDMA
engine is able to reach memory above 4GB limits. If you know any other
DW PCIe RP/EP controller with eDMA-capability and which can work with
the memory space wider than 4GB then you can update it' streaming
DMA-mask too. Note lacking to do so doesn't mean the eDMA-engine
driver won't work for them. The eDMA-engine will be forced to work
with the lowest 4GB space to which the upper memory will be mapped via
SWIOTLB.
