[PATCH] usb: dwc2: add missing SLAB_CACHE_DMA flag for desc_hsisoc_cache

[Karthikeyan K S]

The desc_hsisoc_cache kmem_cache is used to allocate DMA descriptors
for High-Speed isochronous transfers. These descriptors are passed to
the hardware via dma_map_single() in dwc2_desc_list_alloc().

The desc_gen_cache, which serves the same purpose for other transfer
types, correctly specifies SLAB_CACHE_DMA. However, desc_hsisoc_cache
was created without this flag, despite both caches being used
identically for DMA descriptor allocation.

Add the missing SLAB_CACHE_DMA flag to desc_hsisoc_cache for
consistency and correctness on platforms with DMA zone restrictions.
This also protects against future allocations from this cache that
might omit GFP_DMA.

Fixes: 3b5fcc9ac2f4 ("usb: dwc2: host: use kmem cache to allocate descriptors")

Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.  You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response.  He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created.  Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- This looks like a new version of a previously submitted patch, but you
  did not list below the --- line any changes from the previous version.
  Please read the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the
  kernel file, Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for what
  needs to be done here to properly describe this.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.

thanks,

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- Your patch is malformed (tabs converted to spaces, linewrapped, etc.)
  and can not be applied.  Please read the file,
  Documentation/process/email-clients.rst in order to fix this.

- It looks like you did not use your "real" name for the patch on either
  the Signed-off-by: line, or the From: line (both of which have to
  match).  Please read the kernel file,
  Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for how to do this
  correctly.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.
