According to a downstream commit I found in the Khadas vendor kernel,
the GPU on G12b is wired up for ACE-lite, so (now that Panfrost knows
how to handle this properly) we should describe it as such. Otherwise
the mismatch leads to all manner of fun with mismatched attributes and
inadvertently snooping stale data from caches, which would account for
at least some of the brokenness observed on this platform.

Thanks a lot for digging, I'll run a test to confirm it fixes the issue !

Sorry for the late reply. I triggered a dEQP run with this patch applied
and I see a bunch of "panfrost ffe40000.gpu: matching BO is not heap type"
errors (see below for a full backtrace). That doesn't seem to happen when
we drop this dma-coherent property.

It's quite possible this is caused by the GPU seeing a stale page table
entry, so perhaps coherency isn't working as well as it should...

Do you get an "Unhandled Page fault" message after this?

Yep (see below).

That's a write fault from level 3 of the page table triggered by shader
core 0 in a fragment job. So could be writing out the frame buffer.

It would be interesting to see if a patch like below would work round
it:

That's obviously not the correct solution (the fault shouldn't occur),
but if flushing the GPU's caches and retrying works then we know it's
a coherency issue. You can also try backing off from the big hammer of
AS_COMMAND_FLUSH_MEM and trying AS_COMMAND_FLUSH_PT or
AS_COMMAND_UNLOCK.
