With CMA disabled, I get the following build error with this patch
applied:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `ion_heap_create':
(.text+0x21036f): undefined reference to `ion_cma_heap_create'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `ion_heap_destroy':
(.text+0x21040c): undefined reference to `ion_cma_heap_destroy'

So some Kconfig dependancy isn't quite correct here. Can you fix that
up and resend the remaining patches? I'd like to get this into 4.12-rc1
if possible...

thanks,
