Also it is weird a function that can't return 0 is returning an int type

if (WARN_ON(ents < 0))
return 0;

instead of bug on?

Also, I see only 8 users of this function. How about just fix them all
to support negative returns and use this as the p2p API instead of
adding new API?

Add the opposite logic flag, 'DMA_ATTRS_NO_ERROR' and pass it through
the other api entry callers that can't handle it?
