This is here, isn't it:
void dma_free_coherent(struct device *dev, size_t size,
void *vaddr, dma_addr_t bus)
{
WARN_ON(irqs_disabled()); /* for portability */
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
if (dma_ops->unmap_single)
dma_ops->unmap_single(dev, bus, size, 0);
free_pages((unsigned long)vaddr, get_order(size));
}
That's caused by this commit:

dma_free_coherent() needs irqs enabled (sigh)
I've cc'd the people responsible for this apparent bit of idiocy. Since
the API addition to dma_alloc_coherent() was the GFP flags so you could
call it from interrupt context with GFP_ATOMIC if so desired,
(pci_dma_alloc_consistent always has GFP_ATOMIC semantics), why on earth
would the corresponding free routine require non-atomic semantics?
Is it seriously true that you can call dma_alloc_coherent() from atomic
context on arm, but not dma_free_coherent()?
