Commit a88831502c ("gpu: nova-core: falcon: use dma::Coherent")
dropped the nova-local `DmaObject` device memory type for the
kernel-global `Coherent` one.
This switch had a side-effect: `DmaObject` always aligned the requested
size to `PAGE_SIZE`, and also reported that adjusted size when queried.
`Coherent`, on the other hand, does page-align allocation sizes but only
allows CPU access on the exact size provided by the caller.
This change runs into a limitation of falcon DMA copies, namely that DMA
accesses are done on blocks of exactly 256 bytes. If the provided data
does not have a length that is a multiple of 256, `dma_wr` returns
an error.
It was expected that all firmwares would present the proper adjusted
size, but this is not the case at least on my GA107:
NovaCore 0000:08:00.0: DMA transfer goes beyond range of DMA object
NovaCore 0000:08:00.0: Failed to load FWSEC firmware: EINVAL
NovaCore 0000:08:00.0: probe with driver NovaCore failed with error -22
Fix this by padding the `Coherent`'s size to `MEM_BLOCK_ALIGNMENT` (i.e.
256) when allocating it and filling it with zeroes, before copying the
firmware on top of it.
