[PATCH] dma-pool: Only allocate from CMA when in same memory zone

[Jeremy Linton]

Hi,


I have merged this to a 5.8 tree along with "dma-pool: Fix atomic pool 
selection" and tested it in various ACPI/DT combinations, particularly 
on the RPI4. It seems to be working fine.

So thanks for your time and effort clearing this up!
