[AVR32] Drop GFP_COMP for DMA memory allocations
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
dma_alloc_coherent wants to split pages after allocation in order to
reduce the memory footprint. This does not work well with GFP_COMP
pages, so drop this flag before allocation.

This patch was forward-ported from BSP 2.0
