As the comment in usb_alloc_dev correctly states, drivers can't use the DMA API on usb device, and at least calling dma_set_mask on them is highly dangerous. Unlike what the comment states upper level drivers also can't really use the presence of a dma mask to check for DMA support, as the dma_mask is set by default for most busses. Setting the dma_mask comes from "[PATCH] usbcore dma updates (and doc)" in BitKeeper times, as it seems like it was primarily for setting the NETIF_F_HIGHDMA flag in USB drivers, something that has long been fixed up since. Setting the dma_pfn_offset comes from commitb44bbc46a8("usb: core: setup dma_pfn_offset for USB devices and, interfaces"), which worked around the fact that the scsi_calculate_bounce_limits functions wasn't going through the proper driver interface to query DMA information, but that function was removed in commit21e07dba9f("scsi: reduce use of block bounce buffers") years ago.
