The driver allocates ring elements using GFP_DMA flags. There is
no dependency from LAN743x hardware on memory allocation should be
in DMA_ZONE. Hence modifying the flags to use only GFP_ATOMIC

Hi Thangaraj,

Thanks for the update. And sorry for not noticing this
in my earlier review. But I have some more feedback:

* I don't think it is correct to refer to this as fixing a failure
  in the subject.

* I do think the subject prefix can be shortened to 'net: lan743x: '



Perhaps something more like this?

	[PATCH net-next v3] net: lan743x: Allocate rings outside ZONE_DMA

And perhaps also mention in the commit message that this
is consistent with the other caller of lan743x_rx_init_ring_element().

Thanks!

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the comments. Have addressed your comments in the next
revison.

Thanks,
Thangaraj Samynathan
