This patch series introduce support for _CCA object, which is currently
used mainly by ARM64 platform to specify DMA coherency attribute for
devices when booting with ACPI.

A copy of ACPIv6 can be found here:

This has been tested on AMD-Seattle platform, which implements _CCA 
object as described in the AMD Opteron A1100 Series Processor ACPI Porting Guide:

Changes From RFC: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/1/389)
    * New logic for deriving and propagating coherent attribute from
      parent devices. (by Mark)
    * Introducing acpi_dma_is_coherent() API (Per Tom suggestion)
    * Introducing CONFIG_ACPI_MUST_HAVE_CCA kernel configuration.
    * Rebased to linux-4.1-rc1
