No, if you change it, it should be dma_set_coherent_mask only as it is
not using streaming mappings. I suspect dma_set_mask_and_coherent is
the right thing if the driver ever wants to use streaming mapping,
it would just need to be documented in the commit message.

It will serve dma_alloc_noncoherent() calling later, should be streaming
mapping?
