The driver can not pass the compile, without include the 
linux/dma-map-ops.h


You may be right, but Lucas suggest using dev_is_dma_coherent() function.

because the dev_is_dma_coherent() function is defined in dma-map-ops.h.


for our platform its:


```

static inline bool dev_is_dma_coherent(struct device *dev)
{
     return true;
}

```

2. drm/exynos and drm/msm also include this handler


```

$ cd drivers/gpu/drm

$ find . -name "*.c" -type f | xargs grep "dma-map-ops.h"

./exynos/exynos_drm_dma.c:#include <linux/dma-map-ops.h>
./msm/msm_gem.c:#include <linux/dma-map-ops.h>

```

OK, I agree with you.


```

priv->dma_coherent = device_get_dma_attr(&pdev->dev) == DEV_DMA_COHERENT;

```

Lucas,  Is above code Snippet looks fine to you?

OK, i will delete it at the next version.

OK, I agree with you, both you and Lucas told to remove this.

I will remove this at next version.


It doesn't hurt much to the performance. On our platform, the 
performance is GPU bound.
