Subject: [PATCH drm-misc-next v6 5/5] drm/todo: remove task to rename CMA helpers

Both, GEM and FB, CMA helpers were renamed to "GEM DMA" and "FB DMA",
hence the task can be removed.

-Rename CMA helpers to DMA helpers
----------------------------------
-
-CMA (standing for contiguous memory allocator) is really a bit an accident of
-what these were used for first, a much better name would be DMA helpers. In the
-text these should even be called coherent DMA memory helpers (so maybe CDM, but
-no one knows what that means) since underneath they just use dma_alloc_coherent.
