No, it doesn't.  You need to ensure ownership is managed at
dma_get_cache_alignment() granularity.

my guess is nonCoherentAtomSize=1 only works in the case of cache
coherent buffers


nonCoherentAtomSize doesn't apply to coherent memory (as the name implies), I guess qcom's driver is just wrong about having nonCoherentAtomSize=1.

Jordan just mentioned there is at least one conformance test for this, I wonder if it just doesn't test it well enough, or just doesn't test the non-coherent memory type?
