The MSI target address requires to be reserved within the lowest 4GB
memory in order to support the PCIe peripherals with no 64-bit MSI TLPs
support. Since the allocation is done from the DMA-coherent memory let's
modify the allocation procedure to setting the coherent DMA-mask only and
avoiding the streaming DMA-mask modification. Thus at least the streaming
DMA operations would work with no artificial limitations. It will be
specifically useful for the eDMA-capable controllers so the corresponding
DMA-engine clients would map the DMA buffers with no need in the SWIOTLB
intervention for the buffers allocated above the 4GB memory region.

While at it let's add a brief comment about the reason of having the MSI
target address allocated from the DMA-coherent memory limited with the 4GB
upper bound.

We used to restrict both streaming and coherent DMA masks to 32 bits.
Now we will only restrict coherent DMA to 32 bits.

So in essence this change removes a restriction on the streaming DMA
mask, right?

And I guess bt1 is the only driver where this will make a difference
(after the next patch) because no other dwc drivers set their own DMA
masks?

Right.

Right. But that's only because I am sure the Baikal-T1 PCIe eDMA
engine is able to reach memory above 4GB limits. If you know any other
DW PCIe RP/EP controller with eDMA-capability and which can work with
the memory space wider than 4GB then you can update it' streaming
DMA-mask too. Note lacking to do so doesn't mean the eDMA-engine
driver won't work for them. The eDMA-engine will be forced to work
with the lowest 4GB space to which the upper memory will be mapped via
SWIOTLB.
