I don't know, but that's a different topic. This patch just adds
argument and sets it to false everywhere but in the location when range
should be definitely enforced.

This can be done over time.

However the very idea of this version of patch is - keep working pieces
as-is, thus for now setting enforce_range to false in case of no defined
dma-ranges is intentional.

What I should re-check is - does rcar dtsi set dma-ranges, and add it if
it does not.
