When a L2 cache controller is used in a system that provides hardware
coherency, the entire outer cache operations are useless, and can be
skipped. Moreover, on some systems, it is harmful as it causes
deadlocks between the Marvell coherency mechanism, the Marvell PCIe
controller and the Cortex-A9.
In the current kernel implementation, the outer cache flush range
operation is triggered by the dma_alloc function.
This operation can be take place during runtime and in some
circumstances may lead to the PCIe/PL310 deadlock on Armada 375/38x
SoCs.
This patch extends the __dma_clear_buffer() function to receive a
boolean argument related to the coherency of the system. The same
things is done for the calling functions. In order to be consistent
the iommu variant of dma_alloc are also updated.
