[kernel] powerpc/powernv/ioda2: Reduce upper limit for DMA window size

We use PHB in mode1 which uses bit 59 to select a correct DMA window.
However there is mode2 which uses bits 59:55 and allows up to 32 DMA
windows per a PE.

Even though documentation does not clearly specify that, it seems that
the actual hardware does not support bits 59:55 even in mode1, in other
words we can create a window as big as 1<<58 but DMA simply won't work.

This reduces the upper limit from 59 to 55 bits to let the userspace know
about the hardware limits.

Do we ever use mode2?

Can we get anything more solid than "seems that" ?

Is this documented somewhere to not work or you just found this by
testing?

Stable?

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
