scsi: 53c700: remove dma_is_consistent usage
This driver is the only user of dma_is_consistent(). We plan to remove this API. The driver uses the API in the following way: BUG_ON(!dma_is_consistent(hostdata->dev, pScript) && L1_CACHE_BYTES < dma_get_cache_alignment()); The above code tries to see if L1_CACHE_BYTES is greater than dma_get_cache_alignment() on sysmtes that can not allocate coherent memory (some old systems can't). James Bottomley exmplained that this is necesary because the driver packs the set of mailboxes into a single coherent area and separates the different usages by a L1 cache stride. So it's fatal if the dma He also pointed out that we can kill this checking because we don't hit this BUG_ON on all architectures that actually use the driver. (akpm: stolen from the scsi tree because dma-mapping-remove-dma_is_consistent-api.patch needs it) Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
