We want to use DW AXI DMAC on HSDK board in our automated verification to test cache & dma kernel code changes. This is perfect candidate as we don't depend on any external peripherals like MMC card / USB storage / etc. To increase test coverage we want to test both options: * DW AXI DMAC is connected through IOC port & dma direct ops used * DW AXI DMAC is connected to DDR port & dma noncoherent ops used Introduce 'arc_hsdk_axi_dmac_coherent' global variable which can be modified by debugger (same way as we patch 'ioc_enable') to switch between these options without recompiling the kernel. Depend on this value we tweak memory bridge configuration and "dma-coherent" DTS property of DW AXI DMAC.

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 Restructured Text 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.
