Hi Nicolas,

I see a boot regression with this commit d9765e41d8e9 "dma-pool:
Do not allocate pool memory from CMA" on my Xiaomi Poco F1
(Qcom sdm845) phone running v5.8-rc6. I can't boot past the
bootloader splash screen with this patch.

Phone boots fine if I revert this patch. I carry only one out of tree
dts patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/25/52. And since this is a stock
phone, I don't have access to serial/dmesg logs until I boot to AOSP
(adb) shell.

Any thoughts as to what might be going wrong here? I'd be happy to
help debug things. For what it's worth, I don't see this regression on
other two sdm845 devices (db845c and Pixel 3) I tested on.

Regards,
Amit Pundir
