Re: cma can't activate area on arm64

Hi,
As of the 5.5 kernel I see boot errors in cma. It reserves 1G and then can't
activate an area. I added some prints. It's trying to activate the DMA
zone. This causes a driver to fail allocating a dma pool later on. The
coherent pool is the default 256MB. If I reduce cma from 1G to 512M
then it only tries activates DMA32 zone. I assume there was not enough cma
memory for DMA zone? Are there any configuration changes required due
to the DMA_ZONE and DMA_ZONE32 changes? I've attached my boot log.

I think this question is better for the ARM guys. CC'd
