Not necessarily...

Disregarding the complete disaster of PCIe No Snoop on Arm-Based 
systems, there's the more interesting effectively-opposite scenario 
where an SMMU bridges non-coherent devices to a coherent interconnect. 
It's not something we take advantage of yet in Linux, and it can only be 
properly described in ACPI, but there do exist situations where 
IOMMU_CACHE is capable of making the device's traffic snoop, but 
dev_is_dma_coherent() - and device_get_dma_attr() for external users - 
would still say non-coherent because they can't assume that the SMMU is 
enabled and programmed in just the right way.

I've also not thought too much about how things might look with S2FWB 
thrown into the mix in future...
