Sorry, Is there a typo issue (or just wording issue) ?

Sorry I was not awake this morning. If no v2 I will fix this typo when I will apply patch on my tree.

I guess that 1MB is a kind of "should be enough" estimate, probably something along with [1] would give you exact numbers...

Exactly, 1MB is  a kind "should be enough" and code is here to show that we need a dedicated memory area for DMA. But this value has to be adapt regarding to use case needed by users. Thanks for the lkml link. It will help users to adapt DMA area and thanks for reviewing.

Usage of dma-default looks correct to me, so FWIW
