Rename CMA helpers to DMA helpers
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
CMA (standing for contiguous memory allocator) is really a bit an accident of
|
||||
what these were used for first, a much better name would be DMA helpers. In the
|
||||
text these should even be called coherent DMA memory helpers (so maybe CDM, but
|
||||
no one knows what that means) since underneath they just use dma_alloc_coherent.
