you should use the dma_pool() API.

- dma_release_declared_memory(struct device *dev)
-
-Remove the memory region previously declared from the system. This
-API performs *no* in-use checking for this region and will return
-unconditionally having removed all the required structures. It is the
-driver's job to ensure that no parts of this memory region are
