Let me clarify the question some more, in our system the IOMMU supports only
42 bits of address. With your _DMA aperture patch, the initial dma_mask and
coherent_mask are correctly set by the code. However, the device driver can
set the dma_mask and coherent mask at a later point which over writes the
initial setting by your code. In which case, once the iova is exhausted with the
32 bit address, it will start seeking more iova address via the
dma_limit. In this
case it would fail my system since the iommu.aperture_end is that of 48 bits
as derived from ias field in  the SMMU.

Should the dma_limit be the smallest of driver->dma_mask, iommu.aperture_end and
your _DMA aperture size via ACPI table? Rather than just the
driver->dma_mask and
iommu.aperture_end. This will ensure the smallest/correct aperture is used.
