From 5dd98e0389545b302b0c46cef2264b5b09c01677 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aleksander Jan Bajkowski Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 14:44:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: dts: marvell: armada-37xx: mark EIP97 as dma-coherent Armada 37xx has coherent bus, similar to Armada 7k/8k. Cache synchronization consumes a lot of CPU cycles. Enabling coherent DMA increases IOPS performance up to 4 times.
