The commit has a tested by for Seattle, but the series adding this was
for an issue on TI Keystone[1]. Looks like the patch adding this fixup
and warning did 2 things. It added 1 to the default mask when
'dma-ranges' was not present (which keystone needed) and added 1 if
the DT value was a mask along with the warning. It's not clear what
Seattle needed, but there was a fix to dma-ranges about a year
later[2].

I thought at some point we allowed 32-bit DTs to specify a ~0 size to
avoid having to use 2 cells to express 4G size which wouldn't have
been a warning, but I can't find any discussion on that. It would have
been earlier than 2015 I think... Anyways, there is no upstream dts
with that either, so I think we're good.
