[PATCH v2 1/6] drm/v3d: Document cache flushing ABI.

From: Eric Anholt
Date: Mon Dec 03 2018 - 17:24:58 EST


Right now, userspace doesn't do any L2T writes, but we should lay out
our expectations for how it works.

v2: Explicitly mention the VCD cache flushing requirements and that
we'll flush the other caches before each of the CLs.
