But, we need this to be conditional on CoCo shared allocations. We could
derive that from attrs and pass attrs instead of align_order, i.e.
something like:


 struct page *dma_alloc_from_contiguous(struct device *dev, size_t count,
-		unsigned int align, unsigned int required_align, bool no_warn)
+		unsigned int align, unsigned long attrs, bool no_warn)
 {
-	if (required_align > CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT)
+	if (!dma_contiguous_resolve_alignment(attrs, &align))
 		return NULL;
-	align = min(max(align, required_align), CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT);
 
 	return cma_alloc(dev_get_cma_area(dev), count, align, no_warn);
 }


with

+static bool dma_contiguous_resolve_alignment(unsigned long attrs,
+					     unsigned int *align)
+{
+	unsigned int required_align = 0;
+
+	if (attrs & __DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_CC_SHARED)
+		required_align = get_order(cc_shared_granule_size());
+	if (required_align > CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT)
+		return false;
+
+	*align = min(max(*align, required_align), CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT);
+	return true;
+}
+
