Use i2c_{get,put}_dma_safe_msg_buf() to get a DMA-able memory region if
necessary.

I'm not sure if or which Fixes: tag I should add to this patch. The issue
seems to be since a very long time, but nobody seem to have triggered it.
FWIW, I'm using the sff,sfp driver, which triggers this.

Maybe call your variable differently. DMA-buf is an inter driver buffer sharing frame we use for GPU acceleration and V4L.

It doesn't cause any technical issues, but the maintainer regex now triggers on that. So you are CCing people not related to this code in any way.

Christian.
