If dma_pfn_offset is not inherited correctly from the host controller,
it might result in sub-optimal configuration as bounce
buffer limit might be set to less than optimal level.
Consider the mass storage device case.
USB storage driver creates a scsi host for the mass storage interface in
drivers/usb/storage/usb.c
The scsi host parent device is nothing but the the USB interface device.
Now, __scsi_init_queue() calls scsi_calculate_bounce_limit() to find out
and set the block layer bounce limit.
scsi_calculate_bounce_limit() uses dma_max_pfn(host_dev) to get the
bounce_limit. host_dev is nothing but the device representing the
mass storage interface.
If that device doesn't have the right dma_pfn_offset, then dma_max_pfn()
is messed up and the bounce buffer limit is wrong.
e.g. On Keystone 2 systems, dma_max_pfn() is 0x87FFFF and dma_mask_pfn
is 0xFFFFF. Consider a mass storage use case: Without this patch,
usb scsi host device (usb-storage) will get a dma_pfn_offset of 0 resulting
in a dma_max_pfn() of 0xFFFFF within the scsi layer
(scsi_calculate_bounce_limit()).
This will result in bounce buffers being unnecessarily used.
Hint: On 32-bit ARM platforms dma_max_pfn() = dma_mask_pfn + dma_pfn_offset
