thanks for the reply,

So riscv is the "coherent" platform?

I submit this patch as I got a fix suggestion of another patch to use 
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, but riscv doesn't define it.

Considering the portability of the code, in my opinion, it is better to 
define it for riscv if it is not "coherent" platform.
