Well, damn, I was afraid of that.

Unfortunately, that patch working is a symptom of deep malaise within
the driver.  It means that these segments are used in some way in its
internals and virt_to_bus and bus_to_virt translations occur all over
it.  It also means that the DMA API conversion really isn't effective.
