Non existing DMA functions in ARC: dma_alloc_attrs, dma_free_attrs, dma_mmap_attrs

[CARLOS.PALMINHA@synopsys.com (Carlos Palminha)]

Hi Vineet,

I'm using drm-next (its currently based on 4.4-rc3).

Regarding linux-next DMA patches I assume you are talking about these 3 commits:
* 19ab4d3aff0426058fe36aae4ac56320a6e4c6be
* 8ee24f794c2dfff85930f25eab4f11a9bde7f920
* c27a81903ba596c879a45e3028135a4f37fb1837

Regards,
C.Palminha

This is because ARC port current lacks support for dma_attr_t and associated helpers.
There is a series in flight in linux-next, by Christoph, which already addresses that.

You can either cherry-pick those or in the interim use the hack attached.

P.S. Per your comment at top, I'm assuming you are working off of mainline 4.3 or 4.4
