Checking for a nonzero dma_pfn_offset was a quick shortcut to validate whether the DMA == phys assumption could hold at all. Checking for a non-NULL dma_range_map is not quite equivalent, since a map may be present to describe a limited DMA window even without an offset, and thus this check can now yield false positives. However, it only ever served to short-circuit going all the way through to __arm_lpae_alloc_pages(), failing the canonical test there, and having a bit more to clean up. As such, we can simply remove it without loss of correctness.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
