Re: [PATCH] OMAP2: V4L2: Remove GFP_DMA allocation as ZONE_DMA is not configured on OMAP

Hi Amber,

Thanks for the patch.

Remove GFP_DMA from the __get_free_pages() call from omap24xxcam as ZONE_DMA
is not configured on OMAP. Earlier the page allocator used to return a page
from ZONE_NORMAL even when GFP_DMA is passed and CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is disabled.
As a result of commit a197b59ae6e8bee56fcef37ea2482dc08414e2ac, page allocator
returns null in such a scenario with a warning emitted to kernel log.
