For the record, this placed the CMA in the [4GB, 8GB] address space
instead of you setup's default: [3GB, 4GB]. All atomic pools fall in
that memory area without my patch, which makes me think some of the
devices on your board might not like higher addresses.

What happens if you boot with my troublesome patch with this in your
device tree? (insert it at the bottom of sdm845-beryllium.dts)

&soc {
	dma-ranges = <0 0 0 0 0x1 0>;
};
