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

In commit af7ddd8a627c
("Merge tag 'dma-mapping-4.21' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping"),
dma_alloc_coherent has already zeroed the memory.
So memset is not needed.
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).
