Ah, got it. Sorry for being sloppy in my review. You are absolutely right.

I was confused about the first step here and thought you were actually
doing the translation there. After a more careful reading, I only
have comments on details:

I think we should require an empty "dma-ranges" property to be
present to signify "no translation required" and interpret the
absence of the property as "no dma possible".

A special case is having no "dma-ranges" at all, which we have
on all existing systems, and I  would interpret that as "all
devices can do 32-bit DMA, no more but no less".

This should probably use naddr, not nsize.
