The issue is always reproducible, but the error behavior isn't deterministic. Sometimes vchiq_test hangs and sometimes i get an error message from vchiq_test like this (but never errors from the kernel):

Okay, i've bisected this regression to this commit:
00a19f3e25c0c40e0ec77f52d4841d23ad269169 is the first bad commit
commit 00a19f3e25c0c40e0ec77f52d4841d23ad269169

ARM: 8627/1: avoid cache flushing in flush_dcache_page()
When the data cache is PIPT or VIPT non-aliasing, and cache operations
are broadcast by the hardware, we can always postpone the flush in
flush_dcache_page(). A similar change was done for ARM64 in commit
b5b6c9e9149d ("arm64: Avoid cache flushing in flush_dcache_page()").

It seems that staging/vc04_services/interface/vchiq_arm/vchiq_2835_arm relies on the behavior of flush_dcache_page before this patch get applied. Any advices to fix this issues are appreciated.
