Just a note here: if the device is coherent but the DT does not specify
it as such, it's not just a matter of performance but potentially data
corruption. The current DMA ops for non-coherent devices perform a
D-cache invalidate on the unmap path with the FROM_DEVICE direction. If
the device is coherent and the DMA transfer (FROM_DEVICE) allocated data
in the system cache (L3), the CPU cache invalidation after the transfer
would corrupt such data.
We had a similar discussion internally around coherency properties for
ACPI. If we don't have guarantees that the DT (or ACPI) tables always
pass the correct information, we should change the kernel DMA ops to
perform the safe clean+invalidate on the unmap path (some CPU
implementations do this by default).
