Hi Arnd,

Thanks for looking into this, I've tested your fix, it seems to need more work:

[    0.894968]  platform: DMA map failed
[    0.898627]  platform: DMA map failed
[    0.902288]  platform: DMA map failed
[    0.905947]  platform: DMA map failed
[    0.909606]  platform: DMA map failed
[    0.913265]  platform: DMA map failed

You also missed this related change:

I'll try to address your concern about performing the DMA mapping on a different
device than the one set up by the platform code.
