From the commit message of 3de433c5b38a ("drm/msm: Use the correct
dma_sync calls in msm_gem"):

    Fixes the combination of two patches:

    Fixes: 0036bc73ccbe (drm/msm: stop abusing dma_map/unmap for cache)
    Fixes: 449fa54d6815 (dma-direct: correct the physical addr in dma_direct_sync_sg_for_cpu/device)

Given that Rob Clark asked me to drop 0036bc73ccbe not because it's
irrelevant but because it's potentially dangerous, I did not feel
confident enough ignoring the statement in the commit message and
dropped this patch instead.

If I'm  wrong here, I'd be happy to take these two patches if someone
acks it.
