You should not access pdev->dev.dma_mask here, that gets set
by the platform code. You should be able to just use
dma_set_mask_and_coherent to set both.

I don't know how the DMA mask gets initialized on ACPI, I assume it
doesn't at the moment, but that is something that should be fixed
in the ACPI code, not worked around in the driver.

You should definitely make sure that this also works with DT, as
I don't think it's possible to support X-Gene with ACPI. I know
that Al Stone has experimented with it in the past, but he never
came back with any results, so I assume the experiment failed.

Note that the discussions about merging ACPI support on ARM64
are based on the assumption that we'd only ever support SBSA-like
platforms, not something like X-Gene that looks more like an
embedded SoC. Your XHCI patches still obviously make sense for
other platforms, so that's not a show-stopper.
