Sure, I'll fix this.

In remoteproc we have the following hierarchy:
Virtio Device -> Remoteproc Device -> Platform Device
The DMA memory is associated with the Platform Device.
In my case the platform device does dma_declare_coherent_memory()
before registering to the rproc framework. And I need to call
dma_alloc_coherent with the same device reference that originally
did declare the dma memory.

virtio_rpmsg_bus.c does the same thing. When allocating dma
memory is access the parent: dma_alloc_coherent(vdev->dev.parent->parent,...).

As mentioned in the comment, dma-coherent.c does unfortunately
not implement search for devices parent devices with DMA memory
even if the flag DMA_MEMORY_INCLUDES_CHILDREN is set. If this
feature was in place I could have dropped the genealogy research
I have implemented.

Ok, I'll fix this.

Agree, thanks.

Of course not - it's just me being space out.

Hm, when adding __devinit I get a section mismatch warning in virtio_rproc_serial.
But I guess this is a false positive? I could silence this warning by annotating
virtio_rproc_serial with __refdata.

Yes thanks, this looks much better.

Indeed, I'll add this.

Sure,


Thank you for reviewing, I send out a new respin of this patch soon.
