Thanks and thank you for your feedback.

I agree it's not how I wanted to do it but I could not figure out a way
that do not end up calling ops->map_page in dma-mapping-common.h. I did
also get a note from 'kbuild test robot' that phys_to_page is not
available on all platforms. So in my v2 of this series I currently use:
page = pfn_to_page(addr >> PAGE_SHIFT);
But I guess it's just as safe as phys_to_page.

I have implemented and are using such a construct for my v2. I also
found the following patch but I could not determine if the idea of of a
dma_map_pag_attrs was accepted or rejected.
PATCH v1 1/2] dma-mapping-common: add dma_map_page_attrs API

You are correct, this check can be removed. It was needed in a earlier
version. I will wait a few days and see if it becomes clearer if the
mapping should happen in the dmaengine or in the client. And depending
on that outcome I will send out an updated version.
