The patch titled
Subject: ARM: CMA: avoid double mapping to the CMA area if CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
arm-cma-avoid-double-mapping-to-the-cma-area-if-config_highmem-=-y.patch
This patch was dropped because it had testing failures

From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx>
Subject: ARM: CMA: avoid double mapping to the CMA area if CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
CMA area is now managed by the separate zone, ZONE_MOVABLE, to fix many MM
related problems. In this implementation, if CONFIG_HIGHMEM = y, then
ZONE_MOVABLE is considered as HIGHMEM and the memory of the CMA area is
also considered as HIGHMEM. That means that they are considered as the
page without direct mapping. However, CMA area could be in a lowmem and
the memory could have direct mapping.
In ARM, when establishing a new mapping for DMA, direct mapping should be
cleared since two mapping with different cache policy could cause unknown
problem. With this patch, PageHighmem() for the CMA memory located in
lowmem returns true so that the function for DMA mapping cannot notice
whether it needs to clear direct mapping or not, correctly. To handle
this situation, this patch always clears direct mapping for such CMA
memory.
