Virtual addresses return from dma(m)_alloc_coherent are opaque in what
backs then, and drivers must not poke into them.  Switch the driver
to use the generic DMA API mmap helper to avoid these games.

Given this actually fixes issues with the current driver, what do you
think of taking it for 5.2 through your tree?  Also au1200fb has
basically the same issues, just without abusing the CAC_ADDR helper,
I could send you a patch for that one as well.
