Interesting.

Stanimir, I like your implementation better than the macro in the old
patch. But as it said there, videobuf2-dma-sg/contig/vmalloc.c have references
to DMA_FROM_DEVICE that won't work with BIDIRECTIONAL, so those need
to be adapted as well. I missed that when I reviewed your patch :-(

Regards,

Hans
