[PATCH] Add 'dma-coherent' property as a standard property

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



The 'dma-coherent' property was added for architectures which by default
have non-coherent I/O (e.g. Arm) as a way to specify certain devices are
coherent. It's been in use since 2012.

+   For architectures which are by default non-coherent for I/O, the
+   *dma-coherent* property is used to indicate a device is capable of
+   coherent DMA operations. Some architectures have coherent DMA by default
