These host controllers fail on boards with >3GB of memory because the memory above 3GB is located physically >= 0x100000000 and can only be accessed using 64 DMA. The way Linux is currently configured for BRCMSTB systems, the memory given to drivers for DMA through functions like dma_alloc_coherent() comes from CMA memory and CMA memory is taken from the top of physical memory. When these drivers get a DMA buffer with an address >=0x100000000, they end up dropping the upper 32 bit of the address causing the hardware to DMA to incorrect memory, typically BMEM (custom memory carveout). This issue was discovered on a BCM97449SSV_DDR4 system with 4GB or memory. The fix is to enable CONFIG_ZONE_DMA. On ARM systems this makes sure that all DMA memory is located within the first 32 bits of address space.
