The GICv3 architecture specifications provide a means for the
system programmer to set the shareability and cacheability
attributes the GIC components (redistributors and ITSes) use
to drive memory transactions.

Albeit the architecture give control over shareability/cacheability
memory transactions attributes (and barriers), it is allowed to
connect the GIC interconnect ports to non-coherent memory ports
on the interconnect, basically tying off shareability/cacheability
"wires" and de-facto making the redistributors and ITSes non-coherent
memory observers.

This series aims at starting a discussion over a possible solution
to this problem, by adding to the GIC device tree bindings the
standard dma-noncoherent property. The GIC driver uses the property
to force the redistributors and ITSes shareability attributes to
non-shareable, which consequently forces the driver to use CMOs
on GIC memory tables.

On ARM DT DMA is default non-coherent, so the GIC driver can't rely
on the generic DT dma-coherent/non-coherent property management layer
(of_dma_is_coherent()) which would default all GIC designs in the field
as non-coherent; it has to rely on ad-hoc dma-noncoherent property handling.

When a consistent approach is agreed upon for DT an equivalent binding will
be put forward for ACPI based systems.
