Due to some hardware changes, SA8775P has set the NO_SNOOP attribute in its TLP for all the PCIe controllers. NO_SNOOP attribute when set, the requester is indicating that no cache coherency issues exist for the addressed memory on the host i.e., memory is not cached. But in reality, requester cannot assume this unless there is a complete control/visibility over the addressed memory on the host. And worst case, if the memory is cached on the host, it may lead to memory corruption issues. It should be noted that the caching of memory on the host is not solely dependent on the NO_SNOOP attribute in TLP. So to avoid the corruption, this patch overrides the NO_SNOOP attribute by setting the PCIE_PARF_NO_SNOOP_OVERIDE register. This patch is not needed for other upstream supported platforms since they do not set NO_SNOOP attribute by default.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
