PATCH 1/2 drm/msm: gpu: don't abuse dma_alloc for non-DMA allocations

In zap_shader_load_mdt(), we pass a pointer to a phys_addr_t into dmam_alloc_coherent, which the compiler warns about:

drivers/gpu/drm/msm/adreno/a5xx_gpu.c: In function 'zap_shader_load_mdt':
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/adreno/a5xx_gpu.c:54:50: error: passing argument 3 of 'dmam_alloc_coherent' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]

The returned DMA address is later passed on to a function that takes a phys_addr_t, so it's clearly wrong to use the DMA mapping interface here: the memory may be uncached, or the address may be completely wrong if there is an IOMMU connected to the device.

My interpretation is that using dmam_alloc_coherent() had two purposes:

a) get a chunk of consecutive memory that may be larger than the limit for kmalloc()

b) use the devres infrastructure to simplify the unwinding in the error case.

I think ideally we'd use a devres-based version of alloc_pages_exact() here, but since that doesn't exist, let's use devm_get_free_pages() instead. This wastes a little memory as the size gets rounded up to a power of two, but is otherwise harmless. If we want to save memory here, calling devm_free_pages() to release the memory once it is no longer needed is probably better anyway.

PATCH 2/2 drm/msm: gpu: call qcom_mdt interfaces only for ARCH_QCOM

When compile-testing for something other than ARCH_QCOM, we run into a link error:

drivers/gpu/drm/msm/adreno/a5xx_gpu.o: In function `a5xx_hw_init':
a5xx_gpu.c:(.text.a5xx_hw_init+0x600): undefined reference to qcom_mdt_get_size' a5xx_gpu.c:(.text.a5xx_hw_init+0x93c): undefined reference to qcom_mdt_load'

There is already an #ifdef that tries to check for CONFIG_QCOM_MDT_LOADER, but that symbol is only meaningful when building for ARCH_QCOM.

This adds a compile-time check for ARCH_QCOM, and clarifies the Kconfig select statement so we don't even try it for other targets.

The check for CONFIG_QCOM_MDT_LOADER can then go away, which also improves compile-time coverage and makes the code a little nicer to read.

Fixes 7c65817e6d38 ("drm/msm: gpu: Enable zap shader for A5XX")

(ARM && COMPILE_TEST) really gives the dependency checks a run for their money.

I assume Bjorn is cool with this.

Seems reasonable to me if Bjorn agrees.
