I very much do not like this. As I previously mentioned [1],
dma-coherent has de-facto semantics today. This series deliberately
changes that, and inverts the relationship between DT and kernel (as the
describption in the DT would now depend on the configuration of the
kernel).

I would prefer that we have a separate property (e.g.
"dma-outer-coherent") to describe when a device can be coherent with
Normal, Outer Shareable, Inner Write-Back, Outer Write-Back memory.
Then the kernel can figure out whether or not device can be used
coherently, depending on how it is configured.

Thanks,
Mark.
