Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (powerz) Avoid cacheline sharing for DMA buffer
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Depending on the architecture the transfer buffer may share a cacheline
with the following mutex. As the buffer may be used for DMA, that is
problematic.

Use the high-level DMA helpers to make sure that cacheline sharing can
not happen.

Also drop the comment, as the helpers are documentation enough.
