msm: camera: sensor: Request allocating DMA-able memory from DMA zone
When DMA I/O is performed to or from high memory, an area is allocated in low memory known as a bounce buffer. When data travels between a device and high memory, it is first copied through the bounce buffer. Systems with a large amount of high memory and intense I/O activity can create a large number of bounce buffers that can cause memory shortage problems. In general, when communicating to SPI framework,it's recommended to use gfp_dma,since the buffer mm client passes is used by the spi driver for dma ops.
