No, that is just the current definition on ARM32 with CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, and
that is going to change soon to be DT aware.
dma_set_mask_and_coherent() is supposed to check whether the platform can support
the respective mask and return an error if it cannot.

dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() will hardcode the dma mask and override whatever
the platform says is necessary.
