Right.  Sorry.  I must have had an old tag checked out when I looked at
the driver earlier.  The DMA API usage in the driver in v4.11-rc6 and
current master looks fine, except for one thing:

The flush in flush_dcache_page() (from get_user_pages()) was done with a
v6_flush_kern_dcache_page() which always did a clean+invalidate while
the DMA API only does what is required by the direction, which is only a
invalidate for DMA_FROM_DEVICE.  Since the driver calls dma_from_sg() on
the entire page, even if userspace sent in an offset into the page,
unrelated data in userspace may be thrown away.

Does changing the dma API calls to always use DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL make the
test pass?
