Right. I meant the streaming DMA-mask set by the low-level DWC PCIe drivers
(like pcie-qcom(-ep)?.c, pcie-bt1.c, etc). It's very much important to
have the real DMA-mask (at least the streaming one) set for the eDMA-capable
controllers so the DMA-engine clients would work with the best performance.

Ok. I'll just use the direct dma_set_coherent_mask() method here then.

I'd prefer to have more flexibility here relying on the low-level
drivers to set the mask(s) instead of adding the new flag, just in case
if there is vendor-specific IP-core/platform changes in the address
bus width.
