The correct way for a driver to specify the coherent DMA mask is not to directly access the field in the struct device, but to use dma_set_coherent_mask(). Only arch and bus code should access this member directly.

Convert all direct write accesses to using the correct API.

The patch is pretty widely spread. I don't mind how it gets routed but what's the plan?

Hmm... maybe hte pata_ixp4xx_cf.c part should be moved to the one which updates pata_octeon_cf.c?

Thanks.
