There is no need to have the 'dummy_mask' variable static since new
value always be assigned before use it.

No.  You need to read the code and understand how a variable is used
before you decide to modify it.

In this case, a suitable approach would be to change the declaration 
so that it says:

	status u64 dummy_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32);

and remove the line that does the assignment dynamically.

Sorry, I misread the code, so just leave it as is.
