Hi Gregory,

You can re-add my tested-by. Hang is no longer a problem with your
patch during my test of neta.

Best regards,
Marcin

> v7 -> v8:
>  - Use a flag instead of a boolean for checking the coherency. It
>    improve the readability of the code. Suggested by Russell King.
>  - Consider that when coherency is set, it's for both L1 and L2 caches
>  - Use the arm_dma_alloc_args struct to pass the coherency status when
>    possible. Suggested by Rabin Vincent
>  - Remove the Tested-by flag from Marcin because of the modifications
>    around the L1 cache management in this series.
>
> v6 -> v7:
>  - Renamed is coherent by l2_coherent as suggested by Russell
>
> v5 -> v6:
>  - Rebased on v4.6-rc1
>
> v4 -> v5
>  - Keep the dmac_* function outside the !is_coherent case.
>
> v3 -> v4:
>  - Rebased on v4.3-rc1
>  - Fix conflict with commit "21caf3a765b0 ARM: 8398/1: arm DMA: Fix
>    allocation from CMA for coherent DMA"
>
> v2 -> v3:
>
>  - Fix comments in patch 1 as suggested by Catalin.
>  - Fix build issues in patch 2 (by using the multi_v7_defconfig +
>    CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_IOMMU).
>  - Add the arm_coherent_iommu_mmap_attrs function.
