[PATCH 2/3] irqchip/gic-v3-its: Add missing cache flushes

From: Marc Zyngier
Date: Sun Sep 13 2015 - 07:15:15 EST


When the ITS is configured for non-cacheable transactions,
make sure that the allocated, zeroed memory is flushed to the
Point of Coherency, allowing the ITS to observe the zeros
instead of random garbage (or even get its own data overwritten
by zeros being evicted from the cache...).

This fixes an issue introduced by 241a386c7dbb ("irqchip:
gicv3-its: Use non-cacheable accesses when no shareability").
