Merge tag 'dma-mapping-5.1' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping
Pull DMA mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig: - add debugfs support for dumping dma-debug information (Corentin Labbe) - Kconfig cleanups (Andy Shevchenko and me) - debugfs cleanups (Greg Kroah-Hartman) - improve dma_map_resource and use it in the media code - arch_setup_dma_ops / arch_teardown_dma_ops cleanups - various small cleanups and improvements for the per-device coherent allocator - make the DMA mask an upper bound and don't fail "too large" dma mask in the remaning two architectures - this will allow big driver cleanups in the following merge windows * tag 'dma-mapping-5.1' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping: (21 commits) Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO: update dma_mask sections sparc64/pci_sun4v: allow large DMA masks sparc64/iommu: allow large DMA masks sparc64: refactor the ali DMA quirk ccio: allow large DMA masks dma-mapping: remove the DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE flag dma-mapping: remove dma_mark_declared_memory_occupied dma-mapping: move CONFIG_DMA_CMA to kernel/dma/Kconfig dma-mapping: improve selection of dma_declare_coherent availability dma-mapping: remove an incorrect __iommem annotation of: select OF_RESERVED_MEM automatically device.h: dma_mem is only needed for HAVE_GENERIC_DMA_COHERENT mfd/sm501: depend on HAS_DMA dma-mapping: add a kconfig symbol for arch_teardown_dma_ops availability dma-mapping: add a kconfig symbol for arch_setup_dma_ops availability dma-mapping: move debug configuration options to kernel/dma dma-debug: add dumping facility via debugfs dma: debug: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions videobuf2: replace a layering violation with dma_map_resource dma-mapping: don't BUG when calling dma_map_resource on RAM ...
