20d330645c MIPS: Support per-device DMA coherence
On some MIPS systems, a subset of devices may have DMA coherent with CPU
caches. For example in systems including a MIPS I/O Coherence Unit
(IOCU), some devices may be connected to that IOCU whilst others are
not.

Prior to this patch, we have a plat_device_is_coherent() function but no
implementation which does anything besides return a global true or
false, optionally chosen at runtime. For devices such as those described
above this is insufficient.

Fix this by tracking DMA coherence on a per-device basis with a
dma_coherent field in struct dev_archdata. Setting this from
arch_setup_dma_ops() takes care of devices which set the dma-coherent
property via device tree, and any PCI devices beneath a bridge described
in DT, automatically.

f23020230e MIPS: Sanitise coherentio semantics
The coherentio variable has previously been used as a boolean value,
indicating whether the user specified that coherent I/O should be
enabled or disabled. It failed to take into account the case where the
user does not specify any preference, in which case it makes sense that
we should default to coherent I/O if the hardware supports it
(hw_coherentio is non-zero).

Introduce an enum to clarify the 3 different values of coherentio & use
it throughout the code, modifying plat_device_is_coherent() &
r4k_cache_init() to take into account the default case.

885014bcf2 MIPS: improve checks for noncoherent DMA
Only one MIPS development board actually supports enabling/disabling DMA
coherency at runtime, so it's not a good idea to push the overhead of
checking that configuration setting onto every other supported target as
well.

b6d92b4a6b MIPS: Add option to disable software I/O coherency.
Some MIPS controllers have hardware I/O coherency. This patch
detects those and turns off software coherency. A new kernel
command line option also allows the user to manually turn
software coherency on or off.
