Subject: [PATCH 5.19 0650/1157] iio: adc: ltc2496: Fix alignment for DMA safety

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

[ Upstream commit 1673b7ca2dc1fb3b8d7c94a112496c02d34ae449 ]

____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'.
