To be honest, that one is the least of your worries sequencing wise.
Anything doing non-coherent DMA on RISC-V that doesn't use instructions is
dependant on Prabhakar's series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20230106185526.260163-1-prabhakar.mahadev-lad.rj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/#t
That's kinda stalled out though, waiting on Arnd to make some changes to
the cross-arch DMA code:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/ea4cb121-97e9-4365-861a-b3635fd34721@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I was talking to Emil about the non-coherent support at FOSDEM actually,
and I see no real reason not to bring the JH7100 non-coherent support in
if we are doing it for other SoCs.

So yeah, hopefully we shall get there at some point soonTM...

Sorry,
Conor.
