And update the documentation - dma_mapping_error has been supported
everywhere for a long time.

 You should call dma_mapping_error() as dma_map_single() could fail and return
-error. Not all DMA implementations support the dma_mapping_error() interface.
-However, it is a good practice to call dma_mapping_error() interface, which
-will invoke the generic mapping error check interface. Doing so will ensure

-any dependency on the specifics of the underlying implementation. Using the
-returned address without checking for errors could result in failures ranging
-from panics to silent data corruption. A couple of examples of incorrect ways
-to check for errors that make assumptions about the underlying DMA
-implementation are as follows and these are applicable to dma_map_page() as
-well.

-Incorrect example 1:

 You should call dma_unmap_single() when the DMA activity is finished, e.g.,
 from the interrupt which told you that the DMA transfer is done.
