Yes, but I'm not sure about DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL. How does this
va_cdc_dma_lpm_buf work? Does userspace fill it up with bytes and the
DSP reads it out? More details please.

No. I'd expect dma_mmap_attrs() or dma_mmap_coherent() to be used to
mmap it into userspace.  The dma_map_resource() API only returns a
dma_addr_t type, which needs to be mapped via DMA APIs into a virtual
address. Passing it to memremap is incorrect, because it may be possible
to map it into an IOMMU, for which the DMA APIs know what to do in that
situation.
