It's not really acceptable for arm64, nor for arm32. Please fix this
driver in a similar way to commit e3c971960fd4 ("iommu/tegra-smmu:
Convert to use DMA API").

The only place where we allowed __flush_dcache_area() is in the GICv3
driver and that's because it hasn't been wired as a platform device
(yet).
