[PATCH 1/7] arm-nommu: remove the partial DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT support

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Fri Jun 14 2019 - 10:49:38 EST


The arm-nommu DMA code supports DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT allocations, but
does not provide a cache_sync operation. This means any user of it
will never be able to actually transfer cache ownership and thus cause
coherency bugs.
