The Keystone can work in two modes:
- LPAE disabled: In this case Platform bus notifier will not be called at all
and DMA range == MEM range (32 bits mode)
- LPAE enabled: In this case, I'll update code to treat absence of "dam-ranges"
property as "no dma possible" and clean up DMA mask. Is it ok?
In this mode "dam-ranges" prop has to be defined always to enable DMA.

Empty "dma-ranges" can't be treated as "no translation required" because it is used
to move one level up while traversing DT to find the valid "dma-ranges" prop.
Used to handle child devices like:

 bus {
 	dma-ranges = <...>;
	
	Dev A {
		dma-ranges;

		child_dev_A1 { }
		child_dev_A2 { }

This is standard behavior for "[dma-]ranges".

agree.
