OK, I see what you mean now. It's wrong indeed.

The trouble is the ZONE_DMA series[1] in arm64, also due for v5.5, will be
affected by this patch. I don't know the right way to approach this problem
since depending on the merge order, this patch should be updated or the arm64
ZONE_DMA series fixed.

Maybe it's easier to just wait for v5.6.
