I also think creating a generic device in the CC layer, and using it to allocate
memory via DMA APIs is a better approach for this issue. Following is the sample
implementation to give you an idea on how it looks. Please let me know
your comments.

cc_shmem_alloc/free() APIs can be used by CC users to allocate and
free shared memory.

Other vendors can define their own shared memory allocation and free
logic via struct shmem_priv alloc/free/init hooks.
