[PATCH 1/1] ARM: dma-mapping: Drop GFP_COMP for DMA memory allocations

[Hiroshi Doyu]

arm_iommu_alloc_attrs wants to split pages after allocation in order
to reduce the memory footprint. This does not work well with GFP_COMP
pages, so drop this flag before allocation.

    ARM: 7172/1: dma: Drop GFP_COMP for DMA memory allocations

    dma_alloc_coherent wants to split pages after allocation in order to
    reduce the memory footprint. This does not work well with GFP_COMP
    pages, so drop this flag before allocation.
