Hi Tiezhu, Thomas,

Yes, writecombine works well on LS7A's internal GPU....
And even works well with some AMD GPUs (in my case, RX550).

Tiezhu, is it possible to investigate the issue deeper in Loongson?
Probably we just need to add some barrier to maintain the data coherency,
or disable writecombine for AMD GPU's command buffer and leave texture/frame
buffer wc accelerated.

Thanks.
