Some drivers like ath10k can sometimg give an sg buffer with an offset whose alignment is not compatible with the Amlogic DMA descriptor engine requirements.
Simply replace with dev_warn_once() to inform user this should be fixed to avoid degraded performance.
This should be ultimately fixed in ath10k, but since it's only a performance issue the warning should be removed.
