[PATCH] Revert "Revert "Revert "arm64: dma: Drop cache invalidation from arch_dma_prep_coherent()"""

From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Wed Jun 14 2023 - 20:00:12 EST


This reverts commit 7bd6680b47fa4cd53ee1047693c09825e212a6f5.

When booting a sc7180-trogdor based device on mainline, I see errors
that look like this:

qcom_scm firmware:scm: Assign memory protection call failed -22
qcom_rmtfs_mem 94600000.memory: assign memory failed
qcom_rmtfs_mem: probe of 94600000.memory failed with error -22

The device still boots OK, but WiFi doesn't work.

The failure only seems to happen when
CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON=y. When I don't have that set then
everything is peachy. Presumably something about the extra
initialization disagrees with the change to drop cache invalidation.

Fixes: 7bd6680b47fa ("Revert "Revert "arm64: dma: Drop cache invalidation from arch_dma_prep_coherent()""")
