This will allow each device to specify its dma-mask

This would need some documentation. There is already "dma-ranges"
defined for OF which nay do what's needed.

what is dma-ranges I see no doc about it
but I don't think it could be used for the dma mask

This seems kind of wasteful for 1 u64.

no choice dma_mask must be a pointer

And doing it this way for didn't get a warm reception either:

Do you really need this to be something other than ~0UL and if so does
it need to be per device or system wide?

You can solve this with bus notifiers in your at91 code. Here's an
example which I did (but no longer need):

static u64 highbank_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32);

IIRC on at91 all of them that need it have a DMA_BIT_MASK(32)

static int highbank_platform_notifier(struct notifier_block *nb,
				  unsigned long event, void *__dev)
{
	struct device *dev = __dev;

	if (event != BUS_NOTIFY_ADD_DEVICE)
		return NOTIFY_DONE;

	if (of_device_is_compatible(dev->of_node, "calxeda,hb-nfc"))
		dev->dma_mask = &highbank_dma_mask;

execpt as example today I need it on 2 node (OHCI & EHCI)

and if more device need I don't want to end up with more fixup

I really prefer to set it via DT
