AFAICS all that V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT does is end up
controling whether DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT is added to vb2_queue::dma_attrs.
Please can you point to where DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT does anything at
all on arm64?
Also, I posit that videobuf2 is not actually relying on
DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT anyway, since it's clearly not using it properly:
"By using this API, you are guaranteeing to the platform
that you have all the correct and necessary sync points for this memory
in the driver should it choose to return non-consistent memory."
$ git grep dma_cache_sync drivers/media
