>>> Is the DMA controller cache-coherent? I see the mainline LS1046A DT doesn't have a "dma-coherent" property for it, but the behaviour is entirely consistent with that being wrong - dma_map_single() cleans the cache, coherent DMA write hits the still-present cache lines, dma_unmap_single() invalidates the cache, and boom, the data is gone and you read back the previous content of the buffer that was cleaned out to DRAM beforehand.

It seems like this might be the case. From the reference manual:

But there is no such bit in this register on the LS1046A. On the
LS1043A, this bit does exist, but on the LS1046A it is reserved. I read
the register, and found the bit was 0. Perhaps eDMA was intended to be
coherent, but there was a hardware bug?

If this is the case, then I think dma-coherent should be left out of the
top-level /soc node. Instead, the qdma, sata, usb, and emmc nodes should
have dma-coherent added.

Li/Laurentiu, what are your thoughts?
