Hi Bjorn,
thanks for having a look at it.

Yes I'm aware of it.

I know it's counter-intuitive name wise but dma-direct uses it more like a top
address than a mask (see for example 'dma_capable()' in dma-direct.h). There is
at least another driver using 'dev->bus_dma_mask' as such (see
arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_pci.c).

That said, I agree it something Christoph should ratify for this to get merged.

Noted.

Ok.

I just got a notification from my mail server that it failed to deliver the
mail to Christoph, it seems I misspelled it.

I'll fix all this and send a v2.
