This doesn't work?:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC) || of_dma_is_coherent(dev->of_node))
value |= ESDHC_DMA_SNOOP;
else
value &= ~ESDHC_DMA_SNOOP;
While I said use the compatibles, using the kconfig symbol is easier
than sorting out which compatibles are PPC SoCs. Though if that's
already done elsewhere in the driver, you could set a flag and use
that here. I'd be surprised if this was the only difference between
ARM and PPC SoCs for this block.

The other option is similar to earlier in the thread and just add to
of_dma_is_coherent():
/* Powerpc is normally cache coherent DMA */
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC) && !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE))
return true;
We could do the all the weak arch hooks, but that seems like overkill
to me at this point.
