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.
