I'm preparing a v6 unifying both functions as you suggested.

Yes, happily. Comments below.

Maybe use DMA_BIT_MASK(), instead of the manual calculation?

I'd suggest using 'bigger than' instead of masks. Just to cover ourselves
against memory starting at odd locations. Also it'll behaves properly when
phys_start is zero (this breaks things on RPi4).

This + 1 isn't going to play well when zone_mask is PHYS_ADDR_MAX.
