There seems to be naming disagreement in the previous discussion,
The simplest way seems to be reuse the
PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT and do the checking in the driver
without introducing new macro or changing macro name.

Let's be more specific about what is your suggestion here:
Do you mean keep the PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG flag and keep the below
checking in page_pool_init(), right?
	if (PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT &&
	    pool->p.flags & PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG)
		return -EINVAL;

Isn't it confusing to still say page frag is not supported
for PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT being true case when this
patch will now add support for it, at least from API POV, the
page_pool_alloc_frag() is always supported now.

Maybe remove the PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG and add a new macro named
PP_FLAG_PAGE_SPLIT_IN_DRIVER, and do the checking as before in
page_pool_init() like below?
	if (PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT &&
	    pool->p.flags & PP_FLAG_PAGE_SPLIT_IN_DRIVER)
		return -EINVAL;

Or any better suggestion?
