This is a driver of an integrated ethernet controller which is DMA
coherent.

I added a print just to make sure of this:

--- a/kernel/dma/debug.c
+++ b/kernel/dma/debug.c
@@ -567,6 +567,7 @@ static void add_dma_entry(struct dma_debug_entry *entry)
pr_err("cacheline tracking ENOMEM, dma-debug disabled\n");
global_disable = true;
} else if (rc == -EEXIST) {
+ pr_err("dev_is_dma_coherent(%s) = %d\n", dev_name(entry->dev), dev_is_dma_coherent(entry->dev));
err_printk(entry->dev, entry,
"cacheline tracking EEXIST, overlapping mappings aren't supported\n");
}

Shouldn't this case not generate this kind of warning?
