Hi Jacopo,

Thanks for your patch!

I would keep the WARN_ON() and the (ideally unneeded) dev check as close
to each other as possible:

        if (!WARN_ON(!dev))
                *dma_handle -= PFN_PHYS(dev->dma_pfn_offset);

        if (!WARN_ON(!dev))
                pfn += dev->dma_pfn_offset;
