Got it, I will set first 64 bit dma mask here  due to device support
64 bit address dma operations, and fall down to 32 - bit in case
failure with 64 bit.

I see arch/arm64 kernel doesn't use dma range value parsed from
dma-range property currently, I will check it more.
It doesn't use dma_pfn_offset value calculated by the dma-ranges in
dma mapping API.
dma-ranges value should test properly before adding.
Is there any use to add this dma-ranges properly if arch code doesn't support ??
