IIRC, stm32f4 is Cortex-M4, so no cache support and it means that it uses
dma_noop_ops. I offloaded mmap to common implementation, but completely forgot
it has the same restriction as arm counterpart. Regardless, thanks for
noticing that!

It seems that I need to check that mapping is done from DMA coherent area (I'm
moving to dma-coherent and here we have dma_mmap_from_coherent for that) and
something like bellow for dma_noop_ops:

I'd be glad to hear if it works for you.
