This a simple if statement, I think it will only generates two instructions.
Maybe I need move it into function dma_free_attrs, as below:
if (!ops->free || !cpu_addr)
return;
So that, it only generates one instruction. And dma_free_noncoherent can also be impacted.
Or I changed it to BUG_ON(!cpu_addr)?
Otherwise, I move it into ops->free, but that maybe more ARCHs.
