The logic here looks alright but I would have preferred the original
more concise "if ... else if" constructs than the gotos (just personal
preference).

I still think this is the wrong way to fix. It doesn't address the
coherent dma mmap operation. I already replied on the previous version
that we should rather have an extra argument "coherent" to
__get_dma_pgprot().

You have an unnecessary __free_from_pool() call here in the is_coherent
case.
