The conversation above concluded that a hwpt should only enforce cache
coherency per device at the stage of its allocation, and it should not
be changed or updated in the attach/replace routines.

Add two patches dropping the enforce_cache_coherency calls from attach
and replce routines respectively, since they were introduced with two
different commits.

Hi Kevin and Jason,

With these two fixes, there's no issue in the intel driver any more. Do
I understand it right?

Best regards,
