drivers/dma-buf/heaps/cma_heap.c: In function '__add_cma_heap':
drivers/dma-buf/heaps/cma_heap.c:379:28: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct cma'
379 | exp_info.name = cma->name;
| ^~

Fixing this would require moving the `struct cma' definition into
cma.h. I don't think that's worthwhile.
