Before ARCH_DMA_DEFAULT_COHERENT patch dma_default_coherent was used 
unassigned as "false" in device_initialize():
..........
#if defined(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYNC_DMA_FOR_DEVICE) || \
     defined(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYNC_DMA_FOR_CPU) || \
     defined(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYNC_DMA_FOR_CPU_ALL)
	dev->dma_coherent = dma_default_coherent;
#endif
..........
And now it becomes "true". It may change behavior of other non-DT drivers.
