This is included in v5.3-rc6
so I tested it.
So there is no allocation failure, but you get I/O errors later?
Right.

Does the device use a device-private CMA area?
Not sure.
My driver is drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-cadence.c
It reuses routines in drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c

 Does it work with Linux
5.2 if CONFIG_DMA_CMA is disabled?
No.
5.2 + disable CONFIG_DMA_CMA
failed in the same way.
So it seems like the device wants CMA memory.   I guess the patch
below will fix it, but that isn't the solution.  Can you try it
to confirm?  In the end it probably assumes a dma mask it doesn't
set that the CMA memory satisfies or something similar.

Thanks for the pointer.

Yes, this makes my driver working again
when CONFIG_DMA_CMA=y.


If I apply the following, my driver gets back working
irrespective of CONFIG_DMA_CMA.
