You are refering to a merge commit, is that correct ?
I can't see anything related in that commit, can you please pinpoint it ?
As far as I can see, on powerpc the memory has always been zeroized
(since 2005 at least).

The merge commit log tells (dma-mapping: zero memory returned from
dma_alloc_* and deprecating the dma_zalloc_coherent).
I used this commit just want to say that dma_alloc_coherent has
zeroed the allocated memory.
Sorry for this mistake.
Maybe this commit 518a2f1925c3("dma-mapping: zero memory returned from
dma_alloc_*") is correct.

Are you going to resubmit v3 patchset? If the correction is specific
to this patch, I can correct the description in my side, too...
thanks,

Yes that looks appropriate. And it confirms it was already done on
powerpc, as that patch doesn't include any change in powerpc arch.
