The dma masks in struct device are always 64-bits wide. But for builds
using a 32-bit dma_addr_t we need to ensure we don't store an
unsupportable value. Before Linux 5.0 this was handled at least by
the ARM dma mapping code by never allowing to set a larger dma_mask,
but these days we allow the driver to just set the largest supported
value and never fall back to a smaller one. Ensure this always works
by truncating the value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
