Albeit the architecture give control over shareability/cacheability memory transactions attributes (and barriers), it is allowed to connect the GIC interconnect ports to non-coherent memory ports on the interconnect, basically tying off shareability/cacheability "wires" and de-facto making the redistributors and ITSes non-coherent memory observers. This series aims at starting a discussion over a possible solution to this problem, by adding to the GIC device tree bindings the standard dma-noncoherent property. The GIC driver uses the property to force the redistributors and ITSes shareability attributes to non-shareable, which consequently forces the driver to use CMOs on GIC memory tables. On ARM DT DMA is default non-coherent, so the GIC driver can't rely on the generic DT dma-coherent/non-coherent property management layer (of_dma_is_coherent()) which would default all GIC designs in the field as non-coherent; it has to rely on ad-hoc dma-noncoherent property handling. When a consistent approach is agreed upon for DT an equivalent binding will be put forward for ACPI based systems.
