[PATCH net-next 3/4] net: ipa: fix table alignment requirement

From: Alex Elder
Date: Wed Mar 17 2021 - 18:30:47 EST


We currently have a build-time check to ensure that the minimum DMA
allocation alignment satisfies the constraint that IPA filter and
route tables must point to rules that are 128-byte aligned.

But what's really important is that the actual allocated DMA memory
has that alignment, even if the minimum is smaller than that.

Remove the BUILD_BUG_ON() call checking against minimim DMA alignment
and instead verify at rutime that the allocated memory is properly
aligned.
