dma_get_sgtable goes to ops->get_sgtable first, which dma_to_pfn
will return valid address.
IMHO, Only If ops->alloc returns direct mapping address,
dma_common_get_sgtable can be used.

int arm_dma_get_sgtable(struct device *dev, struct sg_table *sgt,
                 void *cpu_addr, dma_addr_t handle, size_t size,
                 struct dma_attrs *attrs)
{
        struct page *page = pfn_to_page(dma_to_pfn(dev, handle));
        int ret;
