stingray-usb.dtsi is finally included by three dts files:
bcm958802a802x.dts, bcm958742k.dts and bcm958742t.dts. I searched all
these three entire expanded dts files, and each of them contains only one
dma-ranges. No conversion range is specified, so it cannot work properly.
I think this property "dma-ranges" is added by mistake, just remove it.
Otherwise, the following error will be reported when any YAML detection
is performed on arm64.

arch/arm64/boot/dts/broadcom/stingray/stingray-usb.dtsi:7.3-14: Warning \

Does it mean that there are no devices on this bus that can do DMA?

Usually there should be a dma-ranges property to identify that DMA
is possible and what the limits are, though we have failed to enforce
that.

Also note that the #address-cells=<1> means that any device under
this bus is assumed to only support 32-bit addressing, and DMA will
have to go through a slow swiotlb in the absence of an IOMMU.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iommu/iommu.txt +79
When an "iommus" property is specified in a device tree node, the IOMMU will
be used for address translation. If a "dma-ranges" property exists in the
device's parent node it will be ignored. An exception to this rule is if the
referenced IOMMU is disabled, in which case the "dma-ranges" property of the
parent shall take effect.

The dma-ranges is only required by IOMMU disabled case. And should exist in
the parent node of IOMMU device. But this deleted dma-ranges is under the usb
bus node.

The dma_alloc_coherent() will allocate memory with GFP_DMA32 flag and
try the 0-4G first. The reserved swiotlb buffer memory is used only
when the allocation failed.

 memory@80000000:
    device_type: ["memory"]
    reg: [[0x0, 0x80000000, 0x0, 0x80000000], [0x8, 0x80000000, 0x1, 0x80000000]]

If this is the actual physical memory size, the #address-cells should be set to <1>.

Generally, USB devices are accessed through the IOMMU. However, even in this
case, dma-ranges is not necessarily required. There are many examples of this
in arch/arm64/boot/dts/. For example: arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/juno.dt.yaml.

Not sure, but maybe I found the answer.

vi drivers/of/address.c +457
457                                               Thus we treat the absence of
458          * "ranges" as equivalent to an empty "ranges" property which means
459          * a 1:1 translation at that level.

466          * This quirk also applies for 'dma-ranges' which frequently exist in
467          * child nodes without 'dma-ranges' in the parent nodes. --RobH

475         if (ranges == NULL || rlen == 0) {
476                 offset = of_read_number(addr, na);
477                 memset(addr, 0, pna * 4);
478                 pr_debug("empty ranges; 1:1 translation\n");
479                 goto finish;
480         }

By the way: At first, I thought that these errors was detected by YAML. Now,
I found that it was generated by "make dtbs". That's why it was reported by
any YAML. Thus, the need to fix these errors is even more urgent.

OK, I got it.
