Sorry I don't understand these questions, I haven't changed the
bounce buffer behavior here, I only make it use a local SRAM buffer
instead of an dma_alloc_coherent() allocated buffer.

Having bounce_buf_size/bounce_buf/bounce_dma_addr is still necessary like
an allocated buffer.

Oh, ok, yes, I'll add it.
