Hello,

Since a197b59ae6e8bee56fcef37ea2482dc08414e2ac (mm: fail GFP_DMA
allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured), pxaficp_ir.c driver fails
to probe: pxa_irda_init_iobuf asks for a buffer with GFP_KERNEL |
GFP_DMA flags, which fail nicely with the following trace:

And then I get:

pxa2xx-ir: probe of pxa2xx-ir failed with error -12

Of course one can ask for a buffer w/o GFP_DMA (see attachment), but I
ain't sure that it's correct.

Subject: [PATCH] pxa: don't ask for a buffer from DMA zone

PXA don't have special DMA zone. And since
197b59ae6e8bee56fcef37ea2482dc08414e2ac (mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations
when ZONE_DMA is not configured) allocation with GFP_DMA set will fail
with a trace like this:
