Subject: [PATCH 4.19 084/118] Revert "dmaengine: imx-sdma: alloclate bd memory from dma pool"

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

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

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

commit ebb853b1bd5f659b92c71dc6a9de44cfc37c78c0 upstream.

This reverts commit fe5b85c656bc. The SDMA engine needs the descriptors to
be contiguous in memory. As the dma pool API is only able to provide a
single descriptor per alloc invocation there is no guarantee that multiple
descriptors satisfy this requirement. Also the code in question is broken
as it only allocates memory for a single descriptor, without looking at the
number of descriptors required for the transfer, leading to out-of-bounds
accesses when the descriptors are written.
