For cache-incoherent DMA, dma_sync_single_for_cpu with DMA_FROM_DEVICE invalidates the cache, so no stale lines in the cache hide what the hardware had written to RAM. On the same systems, dma_sync_single_for_device with DMA_FROM_DEVICE also invalidates the cache, so no dirty lines from the CPU are evicted clobbering what the hardware had written to RAM. In rx_descs_init, the RX buffers need to be invalidated before transferring ownership to the network controller, therefore we should use dma_sync_single_for_device for clarity, even if it doesn't change behavior.
