One drive-by comment here: you don't need to use the DMA API to get a physical
address for passing to the SBI interface. You can use __pa() on a kmalloc'd
buffer, since kmalloc() returns memory from the linear map. This has the
advantage of 1) using cacheable memory and 2) not rounding up the allocation
size to a whole page.

Here sizeof(struct mchp_ipc_probe) > sizeof(u32), so if the DMA API wasn't
rounding up the allocation size, this would be a buffer overflow.
