Looking at the ath10k code ar->dev is set by ath10k_core_create, which
has multiple callers.

For ath10k_pci_probe it is a pci_dev, whoch should always have a
dma_mask.
For ath10k_ahb_probe is is a device tree probed platform_device,
which should have a dma mask.
For ath10k_sdio_probe it is a sdio_func, which from my understanding is
a virtual device can't do DMA itself.
For ath10k_snoc_probe it is a platform device wit an explicit
dma_set_mask_and_coherent and above so the dma_mask is set.
For ath10k_usb_probe it is an usb device which can't do USB

So unless I misred the driver you're using the SDIO or USB variant,
and those are not allowed to just call dma_* functions on their
respective devices.
