Subject: [PATCH 3.18 058/105] MIPS: WARN_ON invalid DMA cache maintenance, not BUG_ON

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

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

From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@...tec.com>

[ Upstream commit d4da0e97baea8768b3d66ccef3967bebd50dfc3b ]

If a driver causes DMA cache maintenance with a zero length then we
currently BUG and kill the kernel. As this is a scenario that we may
well be able to recover from, WARN & return in the condition instead.
