With the default config it doesn't, but with
CONFIG_DMA_NONCOHERENT_CACHE_SYNC enabled it makes dma_pgprot() keep
the pgprot value as is, without enforcing coherence attributes.

AFAIK dma_cache_sync() isn't the only way to perform the cache
synchronization. The earlier patch series that I reviewed relied on
dma_get_sgtable() and then dma_sync_sg_*() (which existed in the
vb2-dc since forever [1]). However, it looks like with the final code
the sgtable isn't acquired and the synchronization isn't happening, so
you have a point.
FWIW, I asked back in time what the plan is for non-coherent
allocations and it seemed like DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT and
dma_sync_*() was supposed to be the right thing to go with. [2] The
same thread also explains why dma_alloc_pages() isn't suitable for the
users of dma_alloc_attrs() and DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT.
I think we could make a deal here. We could revert back the parts
using DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT, keeping the UAPI intact, but just
rendering it no-op, since it's just a hint after all. Then, you would
propose a proper, functionally equivalent and working for ARM64,
replacement for dma_alloc_attrs(..., DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT), which
we could then use to enable the functionality expected by this UAPI.
Does it sound like something that could work as a way forward here?
By the way, as a videobuf2 reviewer, I'd appreciate being CC'd on any
series related to the subsystem-facing DMA API changes, since
videobuf2 is one of the biggest users of it.
