There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH 04/21] dt-bindings: gpu: img: Allow dma-coherent
Posted by Matt Coster 2 weeks, 4 days ago
This attribute will be required for the BXS-4-64 MC1 and will be enabled in
the DTS for the TI k3-j721s2 in a subsequent patch; add it now so
dtbs_check doesn't complain later.

Sounds like the property should be made required for that integration.

This is something I went back and forth on. Where is the line drawn
between things that should be enforced in bindings and things that only
ever need to be specified once, so should just be left to the dt itself
to be the source of truth?

Having said that, I realise TI could spin a new SoC with a new dt but
use the same compatible string for the GPU; the "single" source of truth
then wouldn't be so single anymore. I guess by making this property
required for this compatible string, we're saying any use of it must
behave in exactly the same way, right?

Cheers,
Matt

No they can't. New SoC, new compatible.

We don't need to make a new SoC for that, our bus infra allows us to
selectively include or exclude peripherals from coherency. The GPU
being `dma-coherent` is selectable at boot time.
