Subject: [PATCH] Add 'dma-coherent' property as a standard property
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2020 18:36:31 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200305003631.4121-1-robh@kernel.org> (raw)
The 'dma-coherent' property was added for architectures which by default
have non-coherent I/O (e.g. Arm) as a way to specify certain devices are
coherent. It's been in use since 2012.
