I strongly disagree.
As far as I understand from your description, the problem was with the
life cycle of the dma mapping. This is tighly related with pre/post req.
Just the variable names you have picked clearly show that.

The life cycle of the mapping is also taken care of with patch,
since dma mapping is no longer handled in .request(). IOW the mapping,
if any, will be released after the request is done using .post_req()

If you think otherwise, please elaborate.
