I am not sure why this is required, but if this is not enabled, reading from a buffer in which data has been DMA'd may read incorrect values. This used to happen for instance in mmc_app_send_scr() (drivers/mmc/core/sd_ops.c), where data is DMA'd to a buffer then copied by the CPU to a different location.
