v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230905104721.52199-1-lpieralisi@kernel.org

v4 -> v5
	- ACPICA patches merged for v6.8
	- Refactored ACPI parsing code according to review
	- Rebased against v6.8-rc1

v3 -> v4:
	- Dropped patches [1-3], already merged
	- Added Linuxized ACPICA changes accepted upstream
	- Rebased against v6.7-rc3

v2 -> v3:
	- Added ACPICA temporary changes and ACPI changes to implement
	  ECR https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4557
	- ACPI changes are for testing purposes - subject to ECR code
	  first approval

v1 -> v2:
	- Updated DT bindings as per feedback
	- Updated patch[2] to use GIC quirks infrastructure

Original cover letter
---
The GICv3 architecture specifications provide a means for the
system programmer to set the shareability and cacheability
attributes the GIC components (redistributors and ITSes) use
to drive memory transactions.

Albeit the architecture give control over shareability/cacheability
memory transactions attributes (and barriers), it is allowed to
connect the GIC interconnect ports to non-coherent memory ports
on the interconnect, basically tying off shareability/cacheability
"wires" and de-facto making the redistributors and ITSes non-coherent
memory observers.

This series aims at starting a discussion over a possible solution
to this problem, by adding to the GIC device tree bindings the
standard dma-noncoherent property. The GIC driver uses the property
to force the redistributors and ITSes shareability attributes to
non-shareable, which consequently forces the driver to use CMOs
on GIC memory tables.

On ARM DT DMA is default non-coherent, so the GIC driver can't rely
on the generic DT dma-coherent/non-coherent property management layer
(of_dma_is_coherent()) which would default all GIC designs in the field
as non-coherent; it has to rely on ad-hoc dma-noncoherent property handling.

When a consistent approach is agreed upon for DT an equivalent binding will
be put forward for ACPI based systems.
