Now that we can track upstream DMA constraints properly with bus_dma_mask instead of trying (and failing) to maintain it in coherent_dma_mask, it doesn't make much sense for the firmware code to be touching the latter at all. It's merely papering over bugs wherein a driver has failed to call dma_set_coherent_mask() *and* the bus code has not initialised any default value. We don't really want to encourage more drivers coercing dma_mask so we'll continue to fix that up if necessary, but add a warning to help flush out any such buggy bus code that remains.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
