Thanks for reviewing this change.
From what I understand the things in drm, we don't use the default
iommu-dma domain
for drm devices. Rather we allocate a new iommu domain, and therefore we can't
use the default dma ops. Hence we need separate dma_sync_sg*() to
flush/invalidate
the cache. For this we need to initialize the sg's addresses.

Please correct me if my understanding is incomplete.

Best regards
Vivek
