The above code will not emit the string "dw_dmac dw_dmac.0: DMA-API:
device driver failed to check map error[device
address=0x0000000035698305] [size=14365 bytes] [mapped as single]".

Oh I see what you did.  That string is emitted by the kernel at
present, and the patch prevents this.  And it also emits a new warning
if the mapping attempt failed, and that new warning wasn't described.

I updated the changelog:


: The kernel emits a warning if CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y:
: 
: [   28.150631] WARNING: at lib/dma-debug.c:933 check_unmap+0x5d6/0x6ac()
: [   28.157058] dw_dmac dw_dmac.0: DMA-API: device driver failed to check map error[device address=0x0000000035698305] [size=14365 bytes] [mapped as single]
: 
: Fix this by adding the required checking of the dma_map_single() return
: value.
