[RFC/PATCH] remove unneeded check in bcm43xx

[Benoit Boissinot <benoit.boissinot@ens-lyon.org>]

Since the driver already sets the correct dma_mask, there is no reason
to bail there. In fact if you have an iommu, I think you can have a
address above 1G which will be ok for the device (if it isn't true then
the powerpc dma_alloc_coherent with iommu needs to be fixed because it
doesn't respect the the dma_mask).

Please comment or apply.
