I'm really wonder where this is the right thing to do.
DMA coherency on ARMv6 and ARMv7 CPUs is not just a case of "do something
just before DMA" - it's more complicated than that because of the
speculative prefetching.
What you must remember is this:
Any memory which is readable to the CPU may be speculatively
prefetched by the CPU, and cache lines allocated into the L1
and L2 caches.
What this means is that if you're doing this:
Flush caches
Perform DMA to buffer
Read buffer from CPU
You may or may not see the data you expect in the buffer - it's
indeterminant, depending on how aggressive the CPU has been at
prefetching data.
