Subject: [PATCH 4.9 100/172] drm/etnaviv: trick drm_mm into giving out a low IOVA

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lucas Stach <l.stach@...gutronix.de>


[ Upstream commit 3546fb0cdac25a79c89d87020566fab52b92867d ]

After rollover of the IOVA space, we want to get a low IOVA address,
otherwise the the games we play by remembering the last IOVA are
pointless. When we search for a free hole with DRM_MM_SEARCH_DEFAULT,
drm_mm will pop the next entry from the free holes stack, which will
likely be a high IOVA. By using DRM_MM_SEARCH_BELOW we can trick
drm_mm into reversing the search and provide us with a low IOVA.
