Subject: scsi: dma-mapping: always provide dma_get_cache_alignment

From: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]>

commit 860dd4424f344400b491b212ee4acb3a358ba9d9 upstream.

Provide the dummy version of dma_get_cache_alignment that always returns 1 even if CONFIG_HAS_DMA is not set, so that drivers and subsystems can use it without ifdefs.
