I'm not too thrilled about this implementation either. It immediately
breaks as soon as we have IOMMU support, as the IOMMU configuration
is by definition device dependent, and you have introduced a few bugs
by copying the pointers to dma_mask and dma_parms.

Please let's try to avoid weak functions

One of these two is not needed.

This is always wrong: dev->dma_mask is a pointer!

What if someone has already set a mask that is greater than 32-bit?

same  problem here.
