In reply to#1602105
I’ve tested this v3 version on my Atmel armv7m board with several drivers with DMA and enabled caches,
and I’ve not seen any issues.

You can add my Tested-by.

Thanks for the patches!

Much appreciated! 

Russell, Andrew, Greg, any advise on how to get this series merged? Patches
has been circulated on a list since December last year and without them András
and Alexandre cannot safely enable DMA on their platforms.

Cheers
