The hardware on Broadcom 1G chipsets have a known limitation
where they cannot handle DMA addresses that cross over 4GB.
When such an address is encountered, the hardware sets the
address overflow error bit in the DMA status register and
triggers a reset.
However, BCM57766 hardware is setting the overflow bit and
triggering a reset in some cases when there is no actual
underlying address overflow. The hardware team analyzed the
issue and concluded that it is happening when the status
block update has an address with higher (b16 to b31) bits
as 0xffff following a previous update that had lowest bits
as 0xffff.
To work around this bug in the BCM57766 hardware, set the
coherent dma mask from the current 64b to 31b. This will
ensure that upper bits of the status block DMA address are
always at most 0x7fff, thus avoiding the improper overflow
check described above. This work around is intended for only
status block and ring memories and has no effect on TX and
RX buffers as they do not require coherent memory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
