I'm not sure that's the case - AFAICS a device could still have its own 
local memory despite being behind an IOMMU relative to the rest of the 
system. If it uses dma_declare_coherent() for that, the .alloc and .free 
callbacks here might be bypassed by dma_{alloc,free}_attrs() 
short-circuiting into dma_{alloc,release}_from_coherent(), but in the 
case of dma_mmap_attrs() it hits the .mmap callback first and only falls 
back to the from_coherent check in dma_common_mmap() if that isn't 
implemented.

Maybe the right thing to do would be to move this check (with its 
associated guards) out from dma_common_mmap() up to dma_mmap_attrs() to 
be consistent with alloc/free; so that it doesn't need to be 
reimplemented all over arch/{arm,arm64,mips} at all?

Robin.
