Drivers for all PCI-X and PCIe compliant devices must call

Similarly, drivers must also "register" this capability if the device
can directly address "consistent memory" in System RAM above 4G physical
address by calling pci_set_consistent_dma_mask().

address by calling dma_set_coherent_mask().
Again, this includes drivers for all PCI-X and PCIe compliant devices.
Many 64-bit "PCI" devices (before PCI-X) and some PCI-X devices are

the DMA APIs. This section is just a reminder that it needs to be done
before enabling DMA on the device.

I.e. unmap data buffers and return buffers to "upstream"

Then clean up "consistent" buffers which contain the control data.
Then clean up "coherent" buffers which contain the control data.
See Documentation/core-api/dma-api.rst for details on unmapping interfaces.
