Frank Li f7ae20f2fc docs: dma: correct dma_set_mask() sample code
There are bunch of codes in driver like

       if (dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)))
               dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32))

Actually it is wrong because if dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) fails,
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(32) will fail for the same reason.

And dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) never returns failure.

According to the definition of dma_set_mask(), it indicates the width of
address that device DMA can access. If it can access 64-bit address, it
must access 32-bit address inherently. So only need set biggest address
width.

See below code fragment:

dma_set_mask(mask)
{
	mask = (dma_addr_t)mask;

	if (!dev->dma_mask || !dma_supported(dev, mask))
		return -EIO;

	arch_dma_set_mask(dev, mask);
	*dev->dma_mask = mask;
	return 0;
}

dma_supported() will call dma_direct_supported or iommux's dma_supported
call back function.

int dma_direct_supported(struct device *dev, u64 mask)
{
	u64 min_mask = (max_pfn - 1) << PAGE_SHIFT;

	/*
	 * Because 32-bit DMA masks are so common we expect every architecture
	 * to be able to satisfy them - either by not supporting more physical
	 * memory, or by providing a ZONE_DMA32.  If neither is the case, the
	 * architecture needs to use an IOMMU instead of the direct mapping.
	 */
	if (mask >= DMA_BIT_MASK(32))
		return 1;

	...
}

The iommux's dma_supported() actually means iommu requires devices's
minimized dma capability.

An example:

static int sba_dma_supported( struct device *dev, u64 mask)()
{
	...
	 * check if mask is >= than the current max IO Virt Address
         * The max IO Virt address will *always* < 30 bits.
         */
        return((int)(mask >= (ioc->ibase - 1 +
                        (ioc->pdir_size / sizeof(u64) * IOVP_SIZE) )));
	...
}

1 means supported. 0 means unsupported.

Correct document to make it more clear and provide correct sample code.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
