With the introduction of the Raspberry Pi 4 we were forced to explicitly configure CMA's location, since arm64 defaults it into the ZONE_DMA32 memory area, which is not good enough to perform DMA operations on that device. To bypass this limitation a dedicated CMA DT node was created, explicitly indicating the acceptable memory range and size. That said, compatibility between boards is a must on the Raspberry Pi ecosystem so this creates a common CMA DT node so as for DT overlays to be able to update CMA's properties regardless of the board being used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
