This patch series looks like it might be useful for the StarFive JH7100
[1] [2] too as it has peripherals on a non-coherent interconnect. GMAC,
USB and SDIO require that the L2 cache must be manually flushed after
DMA operations if the data is intended to be shared with U74 cores [2].
There is the RISC-V Cache Management Operation, or CMO, task group [3]
but I am not sure if that can help the SoC's that have already been
fabbed like the the D1 and the JH7100.
thanks,
