I guess when you say these are "trivial cases," you mean you don't
care about supporting those devices?

I guess the only way to discover this coherency attribute is via the
DT "vivante,gc" property?  Seems a little weird but I'm really not a
DT person.

Seems like this would be simpler as:

  for_each_compatible_node(core_node, NULL, "vivante,gc") {
    if (of_device_is_available(core_node))
      return core_node;
  }

  return NULL;

It looks like this #include might not be needed?  You're only adding a
new reference to priv->dma_coherent, which looks like it was added to
etnaviv_drv.h.

Looks possibly unnecessary, or at least unrelated to this patch.
