No, the patch submitted by Andrey and Vasily should fix the issue.
Without this, driver still claims 64-bit DMA capability for those MegaRAID SATA controllers.

Example)
For SATA 150-6 with OLD filter,
if (((1) && ((0) || (1))) || (0) || (0) || (0) || (0) || (0) {
...;
}
driver gets into inside of if clause and set DMA mask with 64-bit which is NOT correct.

However, with the patch,
if (((1) && ((0) && (1))) || (0) || (0) || (0) || (0) || (0) {
...;
}
driver bypasses this filter and stay with 32-bit DMA mask.

Actually ... I found the problem ... the patch is double attached in the
email so applying it spits reverse patch applied errors. I've corrected
this and put it in the tree.
