Hello Robin,

Thanks a lot for fixing this!

Using dma_dev->dev for mappings before it's assigned with the correct
device is unlikely to work as expected, and with future dma-direct
changes, passing a NULL device may end up crashing entirely. I don't
know enough about this hardware or the mv_xor_prep_dma_interrupt()
operation to implement the appropriate error-handling logic that would
have revealed those dma_map_single() calls failing on arm64 for as long
as the driver has been enabled there, but moving the assignment earlier
will at least make the current code operate as intended.
