[(subset) PATCH v2 1/3] riscv: dma-mapping: only invalidate after DMA, not flush

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

No other architecture intentionally writes back dirty cache lines into
a buffer that a device has just finished writing into. If the cache is
clean, this has no effect at all, but if a cacheline in the buffer has
actually been written by the CPU,  there is a driver bug that is likely
made worse by overwriting that buffer.
