Agreed. But we don't flush in SW when -d option is not specified I am
assuming  when we us
-d dma engine takes care of flushing it.

Thank you for testing is this on Jacinto ?

I am trying this on  Renesas RZ/G2N as host and RZ/G2E as an endpoint.
ATM I can only test this on
Renesas platforms only and all of them have same PCIe controller :(

How about adding flags as part of driver data and defaulting it GFP_KERNEL ?
