Pull dma-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
- added support for batched cache sync, what improves performance of
dma_map/unmap_sg() operations on ARM64 architecture (Barry Song)
- introduced DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED attribute for explicitly shared memory
used in confidential computing (Jiri Pirko)
- refactored spaghetti-like code in drivers/of/of_reserved_mem.c and
its clients (Marek Szyprowski, shared branch with device-tree updates
to avoid merge conflicts)
- prepared Contiguous Memory Allocator related code for making dma-buf
drivers modularized (Maxime Ripard)
- added support for benchmarking dma_map_sg() calls to tools/dma
utility (Qinxin Xia)
