[Query] Using DMA API's with struct dev created from device_create

[Krishna Chaitanya]

Hi,

In cases where the BUS interface is system fabric itself,
where no probing is required, so kernel doesn't provide the
"dev" pointer (unlike USB and PCI). The driver is a wireless
driver based on mac80211.

So we used device_create to device, which is passed to
set_wiphy_dev, it works fine.

But when we pass the same device to dma_map_single it
is causing a system panic and reboot (no call stack), instead
if i pass NULL it works just fine.

How do we deal with "struct dev" in such cases?
