The binding name kind of implies that we have a transparent PL310 cache
(at least to me), which is not the case. I would rather have a specific
dma-coherent property or something similar since it's not another type
of PL310 but rather a different SoC topology.

But I recall you mentioned that you can't make this decision at the DT
level since you don't know before whether the SoC is I/O coherent or
not.
