From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Some architectures that need to invalidate buffers after bidirectional DMA because of speculative prefetching only do a simpler writeback before that DMA, while architectures that don't need to do the second invalidate tend to have a combined writeback+invalidate before the DMA. The behavior on mips is slightly inconsistent, as it always does the invalidation before bidirectional DMA and conditionally does it a second time. In order to make the behavior the same as the rest, change it so that there is exactly one invalidation here, either before or after the DMA.
