Subject: [PATCH 5.18 0625/1095] iio: amplifiers: ad8366: Fix alignment for DMA safety

From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit 026bffa458d029a5f15ac3f82a9bb0f64aca403d ]

____cacheline_aligned is an insufficient guarantee for non-coherent DMA
on platforms with 128 byte cachelines above L1.  Switch to the updated
IIO_DMA_MINALIGN definition.

Update the comment to include 'may'.
