Thanks for the findings.  I don't know the reason why this bit is reserved on LS1046a either.  It should have a similar design as LS1043a.

Then looks like it is not correct to say all devices on the bus is coherent.  But as we have the new "dma-noncoherent" property now and most of the devices are actually coherent, we probably can keep the bus as dma-coherent and mark exceptions with dma-noncoherent?
