Why not DT data here as well

Or rather get length from DT..

odd style.. btw should flag be GFP_NOWAIT ..?

this looks hard to read, perhpas a helper will make it look better

this is not kernel style for multi-line comments

unrelated change

here too

dmaengine drivers use GFP_NOWAIT in these cases
