Ah sorry for any confusion.

So the main purpose of this patch is to fix MIPS’s broken per-device coherency.
To be more precise, we want to be able to control the default coherency for all devices probed from
devicetree in early boot code.

To achieve that I decided to reuse dma_default_coherent to set default coherency for devicetree.
And all later patches are severing for this purpose.

Thanks
