Why do we need this? Just curious if we can drop this.
The force contiguous flag is required with dma_alloc_attrs() api to allocate memory from physically contiguous zone.
I am not sure, are you saying that api will work without the attribute or you mean i shall use some api which does not take explicit attribute?

Cast is necessary?
i removed many type casting but few still lingering, will check and remove whatever unnecessary.

This still confuses me. Do we really just pass whatever the
firmware tells us the error code is up to the caller? Shouldn't
we be remapping the scm errors we receive to normal linux errnos?
because i do not know in advance what exactly will be the return error code, moreover there are number of error codes which are returned in case of failure
so if i have to return linux error code, i can not do one to one mapping of error code and will have to return single error code for all failure.
let me know your comments further on this.+ return ret;
