commit ecd7274fb4cd ("iommu: Remove unused IOMMU_SYS_CACHE_ONLY flag")
removed unused IOMMU_SYS_CACHE_ONLY prot flag and along with it went
the memory type setting required for the non-coherent masters to use
system cache. Now that system cache support for GPU is added, we will
need to mark the memory as normal sys-cached for GPU to use system cache.
Without this, the system cache lines are not allocated for GPU. We use
the IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_ARM_OUTER_WBWA quirk instead of a page protection
flag as the flag cannot be exposed via DMA api because of no in-tree
users.

drivers/iommu/io-pgtable.c currently documents this quirk as applying only to the page-table walker. Given that we only have one user at the moment,
I think it's ok to change that, but please update the comment.


Sure, how about this change in comment:

* IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_ARM_OUTER_WBWA: Override the outer-cacheability - * attributes set in the TCR for a non-coherent page-table walker. + * attributes set in the TCR for a non-coherent page-table walker + * and also to set the correct cacheability attributes to use an
+        *      outer level of cache for non-coherent masters.

We also need to decide on whether we want to allow the quirk to be passed if the coherency of the page-table walker differs from the DMA device, since
we have these combinations:

	Coherent walker?	IOMMU_CACHE	IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_ARM_OUTER_WBWA
0:	N			0		0
1:	N			0		1
2:	N			1		0
3:	N			1		1
4:	Y			0		0
5:	Y			0		1
6:	Y			1		0
7:	Y			1		1

Some of them are obviously bogus, such as (7), but I don't know what to
do about cases such as (3) and (5).


I thought this was already decided when IOMMU_SYS_CACHE_ONLY prot flag was
added in this same location [1]. dma-coherent masters can use the normal
cached memory type to use the system cache and non dma-coherent masters
willing to use system cache should use normal sys-cached memory type with
this quirk.
