[PATCH 0/7] of: setup dma parameters using dma-ranges and dma-coherent

Based on comments from [1] discussion, it seems there is a need to
have a generic support to configure dma device parameters.
Series introduces support for setting up dma parameters based on
device tree properties like 'dma-ranges' and 'dma-coherent'.

The 'dma-ranges' helps to take care of few DMAable system memory restrictions
by use of dma_pfn_offset which we maintain now per device. Arch code then
uses it for dma address translations for such cases. We also setup
dma_mask accordingly during the device creation process.

The 'dma-coherent' property is used to setup coherent dma_ops. Arches
which are always coherent can make use of ARCH_IS_DMA_COHERENT to setup
coherent dma_ops always irrespective of 'dma-coherent' property.
