Looking at the DE2 and DE3 spec to answer your question, I noticed that all of
the address fields have a corresponding 8-bit "high address" field, so from a
hardware perspective, the DMA mask should be 40 bits.

However, currently we do not use these fields, so we are limited to 32 bits. I
would suggest we comment that, so I am fine with setting the mask even if
redundant, as it provides a good place to add the comment.

No, that limit is specific to the other DMA engine. I do not see any limit for
the display engine. BSP uses sg_tables only for dma-buf, and then it puts the
entire framebuffer in one segment. So I think DMA_BIT_MASK(32) (the maximum
possible value) is correct.

Samuel
