Subject: [PATCH] Supports to use the default CMA when the device-specified CMA memory is not enough.

From: He Zhai <[email protected]>

In the current code logic, if the device-specified CMA memory
allocation fails, memory will not be allocated from the default CMA area.
This patch will use the default cma region when the device's
specified CMA is not enough.

Why did you change the error level here?

And when you use pr_debug(), you NEVER need to use __func__, as it is
already included automatically in the message output. So now you have
it twice :)

Thanks Greg for your review.
The reason I changed the error level is because these logs will be printed
when memory allocation from the specified device CMA fails, but if the
allocation fails, it will be allocated from the default cma area. It can
easily mislead developers' judgment, so I changed it to debug level.
I will not use "__func__" in the next version of this patch.

Then you need to explain this in the changelog text :(
