I'd like to hear from Robin Murphy that arm smmu driver follows this as
well.
I'd be lying if I said it did.
...but only because that's never been part of the SMMU driver's
responsibility either way. The iommu-dma layer however, and thus the
respective arm64 iommu_dma_ops, has always zeroed allocations right from
its inception.
518a2f1925c3 was just cleaning up the last of the stragglers which
*weren't* already clearing buffers anyway, such that we could formalise
that behaviour into the API.
Robin.
