Thanks for reviewing. I am not familiar with netdev and network patch
posting rule. There are 4 patches altogether related to netdev as below,
Will repost them to the relevant netdev mailinglist and maintainers.

[PATCH 19/22] ethernet: rocker: Use dma_alloc_noncoherent() for dma buffer
[PATCH 18/22] net: ethernet: mtk-star-emac: Don't use GFP_DMA when calling dmam_alloc_coherent()
[PATCH 17/22] net: marvell: prestera: Don't use GFP_DMA when calling dma_pool_alloc()
[PATCH 02/22] net: moxa: Don't use GFP_DMA when calling dma_alloc_coherent()
