Almost right ;) The thing being mapped (the SPI device's buffer) and the 
thing being synced (the IOMMU's PTE) are entirely unrelated. Due to the 
current of_iommu_init() setup, the IOMMU is probed long before 
dma_debug_init() gets called, therefore DMA debug is missing entries for 
some of the initial page table mappings and gets confused when we update 
them later.

The simple fix should be to just call dma_debug_init() from a 
sufficiently earlier initcall level. The best would be to sort out a 
proper device dependency order to avoid the whole early-IOMMU-creation 
thing entirely.
