Nice catch ! I experimented with T-Head RVB-ICE board on the up-to-date
upstream kernel, using device tree and some other bits from the vendor
kernel [1]. Without this patch, emmc on this board does not work since
noncoherent dma sync operations use incorrect 'clean' instruction.
Applying this patch fixes emmc operations, so
