Hi Arnd,

So the check will look like this, please let me know what do you think:
        if (!pdev->dev.dma_mask) {
                WARN_ON(1);
                /* Initialize dma_mask if the broken platform code has
not done so */
                pdev->dev.dma_mask = &pdev->dev.coherent_dma_mask;
        }

The condition can be written as 

	if (WARN_ON(!pdev->dev.dma_mask))

and I'd use dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() instead of manually setting the
pointer, as an annotation for the fact that we are knowingly violating the
API here.

Those two points are just cosmetic though, aside from them, your code
above is what I had in mind.

Thanks,

	Arnd
