I/O Coherence Port (IOCP) provides an AXI interface for connecting
external non-caching masters, such as DMA controllers. The accesses
from IOCP are coherent with D-Caches and L2 Cache.

IOCP is a specification option and is disabled on the Renesas RZ/Five
SoC (which is based on Andes AX45MP core) due to this reason IP blocks
using DMA will fail.

As a workaround for SoCs with IOCP disabled CMO needs to be handled by
software. Firstly OpenSBI configures the memory region as
"Memory, Non-cacheable, Bufferable" and passes this region as a global
shared dma pool as a DT node. With DMA_GLOBAL_POOL enabled all DMA
allocations happen from this region and synchronization callbacks are
implemented to synchronize when doing DMA transactions.

SBI_EXT_ANDES_IOCP_SW_WORKAROUND checks if the IOCP errata should be
applied to handle cache management.

I/O Coherence Port (IOCP) provides an AXI interface for connecting
external non-caching masters, such as DMA controllers. The accesses
from IOCP are coherent with D-Caches and L2 Cache.

IOCP is a specification option and is disabled on the Renesas RZ/Five
SoC due to this reason IP blocks using DMA will fail.

The 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.
Below are the memory attributes supported:
* Device, Non-bufferable
* Device, bufferable
* Memory, Non-cacheable, Non-bufferable
* Memory, Non-cacheable, Bufferable
* Memory, Write-back, No-allocate
* Memory, Write-back, Read-allocate
* Memory, Write-back, Write-allocate
* Memory, Write-back, Read and Write-allocate

As a workaround for SoCs with IOCP disabled CMO needs to be handled by
software. Firstly OpenSBI configures the memory region as
"Memory, Non-cacheable, Bufferable" and passes this region as a global
shared dma pool as a DT node. With DMA_GLOBAL_POOL enabled all DMA
allocations happen from this region and synchronization callbacks are
implemented to synchronize when doing DMA transactions.

Example PMA region passed as a DT node from OpenSBI:
    reserved-memory {
        #address-cells = &lt;2&gt;;
        #size-cells = &lt;2&gt;;
        ranges;

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