[PATCH v8 0/7] Add non-coherent DMA support for AX45MP

Hi All,

non-coherent DMA support for AX45MP
====================================

On the Andes AX45MP core, cache coherency is a specification option so it
may not be supported. In this case DMA will fail. To get around with this
issue this patch series does the below:

1] Andes alternative ports is implemented as errata which checks if the IOCP
is missing and only then applies to CMO errata. One vendor specific SBI EXT
(ANDES_SBI_EXT_IOCP_SW_WORKAROUND) is implemented as part of errata.

Below are the configs which Andes port provides (and are selected by RZ/Five):
      - ERRATA_ANDES
      - ERRATA_ANDES_CMO

OpenSBI patch supporting ANDES_SBI_EXT_IOCP_SW_WORKAROUND SBI can be found here,
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/opensbi/patch/20230317140357.14819-1-prabhakar.mahadev-lad.rj@bp.renesas.com/

2] Andes AX45MP core has a Programmable Physical Memory Attributes (PMA)
block that allows dynamic adjustment of memory attributes in the runtime.
It contains a configurable amount of PMA entries implemented as CSR
registers to control the attributes of memory locations in interest.
OpenSBI configures the PMA regions as required and creates a reserve memory
node and propagates it to the higher boot stack.

Currently OpenSBI (upstream) configures the required PMA region and passes
this a shared DMA pool to Linux.

    reserved-memory {
        #address-cells = <2>;
        #size-cells = <2>;
        ranges;

        pma_resv0@58000000 {
            compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
            reg = <0x0 0x58000000 0x0 0x08000000>;
            no-map;
            linux,dma-default;
        };
    };

The above shared DMA pool gets appended to Linux DTB so the DMA memory
requests go through this region.

3] We provide callbacks to synchronize specific content between memory and
cache.

4] RZ/Five SoC selects the below configs
        - AX45MP_L2_CACHE
        - DMA_GLOBAL_POOL
        - ERRATA_ANDES
        - ERRATA_ANDES_CMO

Note,
- This series requires testing on Cores with zicbom and T-Head SoCs
- Ive used GCC 12.2.0 for compilation
- Tested all the IP blocks on RZ/Five which use DMA
- Patch series is dependent on the series from Arnd,
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/cover/20230327121317.4081816-1-arnd@kernel.org/
- Patches applies on top of palmer/for-next (d34a6b715a23)

v7 -> v8
* Dropped using function pointers and switched to ALTERNATIVE_X() 
* Added new patches (#1, #2)

v6 -> v7
* Reworked the code based on Arnd's work
* Fixed review comments pointed by Arnd
* Fixed review comments pointed by Conor

v5.1 -> v6
* Dropped use of ALTERNATIVE_x() macro
* Now switched to used function pointers for CMO
* Moved driver to drivers/cache folder

v5 -> v5.1
* https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/list/?series=708610&state=%2A&archive=both

v4 -> v5
* Rebased ALTERNATIVE_3() macro on top of Andrew's patches
* Rebased the changes on top of Heiko's alternative call patches
* Dropped configuring the PMA from Linux
* Dropped configuring the L2 cache from Linux and dropped the binding for same
* Now using runtime patching mechanism instead of compile time config

RFC v3 -> v4
* Implemented ALTERNATIVE_3() macro 
* Now using runtime patching mechanism instead of compile time config
* Added Andes CMO as and errata
* Fixed comments pointed by Geert

RFC v2-> RFC v3
* Fixed review comments pointed by Conor
* Move DT binding into cache folder
* Fixed DT binding check issue
* Added andestech,ax45mp-cache.h header file
* Now passing the flags for the PMA setup as part of andestech,pma-regions
  property.
* Added andestech,inst/data-prefetch and andestech,tag/data-ram-ctl
  properties to configure the L2 cache.
* Registered the cache driver as platform driver

RFC v1-> RFC v2
* Moved out the code from arc/riscv to drivers/soc/renesas
* Now handling the PMA setup as part of the L2 cache
* Now making use of dma-noncoherent.c instead SoC specific implementation.
* Dropped arch_dma_alloc() and arch_dma_free()
* Switched to RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT
* Included DT binding doc
