And my point is that that logic is not actually useful, since it would
be nonsensical for ops to set DMA_F_CAN_SKIP_SYNC if they don't even
implement sync ops anyway.
If the intent of DMA_F_CAN_SKIP_SYNC is to mean "behaves like
dma-direct", then "if (dma_map_direct(...) || ops->flags &
DMA_F_CAN_SKIP_SYNC)" is an entirely logical and expected condition.
Thanks,
Robin.
