Ah, I misunderstood this part previously. I understand better what's
going on now, but this also enforces the impression that both BOUNCE
and DMABOUNCE are not what you should be doing here.

On a related note, I've had some more discussions with Santosh on IRC,
and I think he's in the exact same position on mach-keystone, so we
should make sure that whatever solution either of you comes up with
also works for the other one.

The situation on keystone may be a little worse even, because all their
DMA masters have a 2GB limit, but it's also possible that the same
is true for you. Which categories of DMA masters do you have on R-Car?

a) less than 32-bit mask, with IOMMU
b) less than 32-bit mask, without IOMMU
c) 32-bit mask
d) 64-bit mask
