From: Neil Armstrong <narmstrong@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit cabb1bb60e88ccaaa122ba01862403cd44e8e8f8 upstream. Some drivers like ath10k can sometimg give an sg buffer with an offset whose alignment is not compatible with the Amlogic DMA descriptor engine requirements. Simply replace with dev_warn_once() to inform user this should be fixed to avoid degraded performance. This should be ultimately fixed in ath10k, but since it's only a performance issue the warning should be removed.
