Jun Gao correctly identified a problem when freeing a DMA safe buffer [1], many thanks for that! However, I'd like to not introduce yet another function. So, I thought about changing the existing API to support the case of freeing a buffer in case no sync back to the message is needed. Here is what I came up with and I like the new way better.
Once this is set in place, the only existing user so far, has been fixed. It was leaking the bounce buffer on error cases before. Tested on a Renesas Lager board (R-Car H2). Please let me know your thoughts. Jun Gao, does it work for you as well? If all goes well, I would like to apply it for -rc2. But I am still open for comments, of course.
