Currently, the rkisp1 driver always uses coherent DMA allocations for
video capture buffers. However, on some platforms, using non-coherent
buffers can improve performance, especially when CPU processing of
MMAP'ed video buffers is required.
For example, on the Rockchip RK3399 running at maximum CPU frequency,
the time to memcpy a frame from a 1280x720 XRGB32 MMAP'ed buffer to a
malloc'ed userspace buffer decreases from 7.7 ms to 1.1 ms when using
non-coherent DMA allocation. CPU usage also decreases accordingly.
This change allows userspace to request the allocation of non-coherent
buffers. Note that the behavior for existing users will remain unchanged
unless they explicitly set the V4L2_MEMORY_FLAG_NON_COHERENT flag when
allocating buffers.
