This function isn't the same as of_translate_dma_address(), more over
it calls of_translate_dma_address() to get CPU address.

To calculate DMA bus offset we need to know the first DMA address explicitly,
so then we can translate it to the corresponding CPU address.

get_dma_pfn_offset() function does:
- traverse DT and look for the first "dma-ranges" prop;
- reads the first DMA address of the range;
- translates it in CPU address using of_translate_dma_address();
- calculates DMA bus offset as PFN_DOWN(cpu_addr - dma_addr);

Also, I've investigated all places in Kernel were "dma-ranges" is used:
- cell_iommu_get_fixed_address() - arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/iommu.c
- ppc4xx_parse_dma_ranges() - arch/powerpc/sysdev/ppc4xx_pci.c

As result, I see no reasons to modify of_translate_dma_address()
(which actually is just wrapper for common __of_translate_address()).

Of course, possibly I've not fully got your point. :)

Thanks for your comments.
