Hi Yong,

We're considering using struct cma as the function argument to
dma_heap_add_cma() rather than struct device. Would this help
resolve the problem of usage with dma_heap_add_cma()?

Referring the conversation at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/7a2995de23c24ef22c071c6976c02b97e9b50126.camel@mediatek.com/;

since we're considering abstracting secure mem ops, would it make sense
to use the default CMA heap ops (cma_heap_ops), allocate buffers from it
and secure each allocated buffer?

Thanks,
Jaskaran.
