Thanks for putting this together. I had a minor comment but the patches
look fine to me. We still need an ack from Rob on the DT patch and I can
queue the series for 5.11.

Could you please also test the patch below on top of this series? It's
the removal of the implied DMA offset in the max_zone_phys()
calculation.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Ignore any DMA offsets in the max_zone_phys()
 calculation

Currently, the kernel assumes that if RAM starts above 32-bit (or
zone_bits), there is still a ZONE_DMA/DMA32 at the bottom of the RAM and
such constrained devices have a hardwired DMA offset. In practice, we
haven't noticed any such hardware so let's assume that we can expand
ZONE_DMA32 to the available memory if no RAM below 4GB. Similarly,
ZONE_DMA is expanded to the 4GB limit if no RAM addressable by
zone_bits.
