Hi All,

On the Andes AX45MP core, cache coherency is a specification option so it
may not be supported. In this case DMA will fail. To get around with this
issue this patch series does the below:

1] 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. PMA
regions are passed from the l2 node which are configured as
non-cacheable + bufferable with the SBI call.

        l2cache: cache-controller@13400000 {
                ....
                andestech,pma-regions = <0x0 0x58000000 0x0 0x08000000 0x0
                                         (AX45MP_PMACFG_ETYP_NAPOT |
                                          AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP_MEM_NON_CACHE_BUF)>;
                ....
        };

2] We provide callbacks to synchronize specific content between memory and
cache.

        - arch_sync_dma_for_device()
        - arch_sync_dma_for_cpu()

Below are the configs that are enabled:

        - DMA_GLOBAL_POOL
        - RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT

3] We reserve the shared DMA pool, so the DMA memory requests go through
   this pool:

        reserved-memory {
                #address-cells = <2>;
                #size-cells = <2>;
                ranges;

                reserved: linux,cma@58000000 {
                        compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
                        no-map;
                        linux,dma-default;
                        reg = <0x0 0x58000000 0x0 0x08000000>;
                };
        };


Below is the L2 cache DT node:

        l2cache: cache-controller@13400000 {
                compatible = "andestech,ax45mp-cache", "cache";
                cache-size = <0x40000>;
                cache-line-size = <64>;
                cache-sets = <1024>;
                cache-unified;
                reg = <0x0 0x13400000 0x0 0x100000>;
                andestech,pma-regions = <0x0 0x58000000 0x0 0x08000000 0x0
                                         (AX45MP_PMACFG_ETYP_NAPOT |
                                          AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP_MEM_NON_CACHE_BUF)>;
                andestech,inst-prefetch = <0x3>;
                andestech,data-prefetch = <0x3>;
                andestech,tag-ram-ctl = /bits/ 8 <0x1 0x0>;
                andestech,data-ram-ctl = /bits/ 8 <0x1 0x0>;
                interrupts = <SOC_PERIPHERAL_IRQ(476, IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH)>;
        };

Due to the above approach custom SBI calls have been implemented. The
above implementation is in preparation for adding support for Renesas
RZ/Five SoC which uses the AX45MP core. As with the above approach the
kernel image might not be generic so that it can be used on other
platforms, so sending it as an RFC (without DT binding patches).

OpenSBI implementation isn't upstreamed yet, public repo for access is
available at [0].

RFC v2-> RFC v3
* Fixed review comments pointed by Conor
* Move DT binding into cache folder
* Fixed DT binding check issue
* Added andestech,ax45mp-cache.h header file
* Now passing the flags for the PMA setup as part of andestech,pma-regions
  property.
* Added andestech,inst/data-prefetch and andestech,tag/data-ram-ctl
  properties to configure the L2 cache.
* Registered the cache driver as platform driver

RFC v1-> RFC v2
* Moved out the code from arc/riscv to drivers/soc/renesas
* Now handling the PMA setup as part of the L2 cache
* Now making use of dma-noncoherent.c instead SoC specific implementation.
* Dropped arch_dma_alloc() and arch_dma_free()
* Switched to RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT
* Included DT binding doc

RFC v2: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-renesas-soc/cover/[e-mail]/
RFC v1: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-renesas-soc/cover/[e-mail]/

Sending this as an RFC as CONFIG_ERRATA_THEAD_CMO/CONFIG_AX45MP_L2_CACHE
is used for determining the CMO to call it would better if we could do
this runtime instead.

Cheers,
Prabhakar
