Thanks. So the fix can look as follows:

---

static int vb2_dc_alloc_non_coherent(struct vb2_dc_buf *buf)
{
struct vb2_queue *q = buf->vb->vb2_queue;

buf->dma_sgt = dma_alloc_noncontiguous(buf->dev,
buf->size,
buf->dma_dir,
GFP_KERNEL | q->gfp_flags,
buf->attrs);
if (!buf->dma_sgt)
return -ENOMEM;

+ buf->dma_addr = sg_dma_address(buf->dma_sgt->sgl);
