For PCIe, setting dma-coherent in the DT nodes wouldn't have any effect
yet. We have of_dma_configure() being called for platform devices but it
won't work for PCIe which are probed at run-time (nor for AMBA which
require an additional patch).

So for arm64 currently we have some hooks in dma-mapping.c to intercept
when a device is added to a bus. What I need to do though is check
recursively whether the parent (bus) had the 'dma-coherent' property
(pointed out by Jon). I think something like this would do (not tested):

diff --git a/arch/arm64/mm/dma-mapping.c b/arch/arm64/mm/dma-mapping.c
index 4164c5ace9f8..638475378f94 100644
--- a/arch/arm64/mm/dma-mapping.c
+++ b/arch/arm64/mm/dma-mapping.c
@@ -316,7 +316,7 @@ static int dma_bus_notifier(struct notifier_block *nb,
 	if (event != BUS_NOTIFY_ADD_DEVICE)
 		return NOTIFY_DONE;
 
-	if (of_property_read_bool(dev->of_node, "dma-coherent"))
+	if (of_dma_is_coherent(dev->of_node))
 		set_dma_ops(dev, &coherent_swiotlb_dma_ops);
 
 	return NOTIFY_OK;

After this, we need to a bus notifier for PCIe as well. Since I don't
think we have an of_node for a PCI device, we would need to check
recursively on the parent device rather than the parent node until we
find an OF node with the 'dma-coherent' property.
