mainlining shenanigans
91af2dd255
Switch the 53c700 driver to only use non-coherent descriptor memory if it really has to because dma_alloc_coherent fails. This doesn't matter for any of the platforms it runs on currently, but that will change soon. To help with this two new helpers to transfer ownership to and from the device are added that abstract the syncing of the non-coherent memory. The two current bidirectional cases are mapped to transfers to the device, as that appears to what they are used for. Note that for parisc, which is the only architecture this driver needs to use non-coherent memory on, the direction argument of dma_cache_sync is ignored, so this will not change behavior in any way.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
