Subject: scsi: dma-mapping: always provide dma_get_cache_alignment
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
commit 860dd4424f344400b491b212ee4acb3a358ba9d9 upstream.
Provide the dummy version of dma_get_cache_alignment that always returns
1 even if CONFIG_HAS_DMA is not set, so that drivers and subsystems can
use it without ifdefs.
