The current code is only verified on chips with 36-bit physical address.  I'm not sure if the driver can work without any change on the 64-bit chip, although the register model suggests it can work well with 64-bit.  If you can confirm that it's compatible with the block on 64-bit chip, then we can change it to 64 bit dma mask.
