I just tried latest linux-5.4 git on my hp c8000 (parisc), and got the following
error:
[ 27.246866] sata_sil24 0000:00:01.0: Applying completion IRQ loss on PCI-X
errata fix
[ 27.336968] sata_sil24 0000:00:01.0: DMA enable failed
[ 27.476922] sata_sil24: probe of 0000:00:01.0 failed with error -5
This is caused by commit dcc02c19cc06bd7bc1b6db0aa0087a2b6eb05b94:

sata_sil24: use dma_set_mask_and_coherent
Use the dma_set_mask_and_coherent helper to set the DMA mask. Rely
on the relatively recent change that setting a larger than required
mask will never fail to avoid the need for the boilerplate 32-bit
fallback code.

However, the real problem seems to be in sba_dma_supported():

Removing the if() makes the DMA mapping work. It's almost midnight here,
so i won't look into that any further today. Does anyone have an opinion
on this behaviour? Otherwise i will look a bit more into this in the
next days.
