0xff190800 will cause this warning for sure. It has a memory map, but it is
not RAM so old version of pfn_valid() would return 0 and the new one
returns 1.

I think pfn_valid() actually behaves as expected but the caller is wrong
because pfn_valid != RAM (this applies btw to !arm64 as well).

/* Don't allow RAM to be mapped */
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(pfn_valid(PHYS_PFN(phys_addr))))
return DMA_MAPPING_ERROR;

Alex, can you please try this patch:
